I see your allot further alone than I am!
I am going to use a Subaru EA81 1.8Ltr flat 4cyl for power. It is bullet proof and I trust it as much or more than "certified engines". I would fly with an A65 any day, but between an A65 and a Subie, subie all the way.
More progress: More sheeting and cross struts done on the fuse as well as starting on the seats. The cowl also came.
