Default RE: Tiger 60 Build Thread

I finally made it back to the bench thanks to all the former presidents whom we so graciously honor with the day off work!

I got the engine mount drilled and located on the firewall for the inverted Saito. I'm using the kit provided engine mount It took a while to get it located properly so the prop shaft would still be centered with the 2 degrees right thrust factored in.

Once that was taken care of, it was on to the rest of the fuselage. The laser cut pieces are very clean, however The first thing I quickly discovered that since most of the larger fuse parts are cut with a router, none of the interior corners were square. Therefore, all of the notches for the interlocking tabs need to have the internal corners squared up so the mating tabs will seat properly. Until that is done, nothing fits worth a hoot. So I only got as far as the initial dry fit.
