Hey man,

[sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]So easy to do too!

I had the aluminum corner pieces fail on one side of the engine box, I guess from the firewall flexing, when I gave it the gas the engine move 1/16" forward. I didn't think anything ov it until after I landed the engine was not centered in the cowl anymore, thankfully the MT62 is super smooth any shaking would have broken the other side. I removered the aluminum corners and put a piece of 3/4"x1" Oak on the inside screwed and glued together now.

The more I fly this plane the better I like it, no vices, a great airplane.
