Who said mounting to the firewall was a good idea? I'm just saying that if this fuselage would be have been made 6" longer, the result would be a much lighter and simpler airplane.
That is true....very true.
Mounting to the firewall works well, but the firewall has to be a solid brick wall. It works but best solution? Well, the best solution is.....who really knows yet, since there's nothing even close to standard about any of it. Hence why there 1001 different ways to mount it, and one that has a higher than normal risk of seperating the nose from the rest of the plane. I hate it when that happens...
