Kow and Bruce,

Thanks for the info. My first ARF. I've always been a kit kind of guy and I always used the drill and tap method of motor mounting.

OK, I feel better now !

Now, what is your opinion of what would be a good second airplane to transition from a trainer. I ultimately want to build the T-34 or the T-28 (I worked on both in the Navy) but I don't think they would make a good second airplane. I looking more towards kit-built. It's good therapy for me and gets me away from the spousal unit for long periods of time!
