Default RE: Midwest Super Stinker Question

Been awhile since I last posted.

I made my engine decision going with a Zenoah G23. It's "used" but just barely and it bolted right up to my modified firewall, nicely.
Sweet kit...I CAN see why Midwest complained about how expen$ive it was to produce. You cannot believe the scrap lite ply and balsa left over after primary construction! I believe it was cutout in Italy, probably by Falcon Trading. Today, laser cutting could consolidate the amount of wood required for the die-punch process, I'm certain. As it is, it is-was state of that art, lol...

I still have a lot to do but thought I'd post some up-to-date photos as she is so far:
