Default Pizazz engine mounting procedure?

Hi, guys.

I'm just putting my Pizazz ARF together and am a little confused by the unusual engine mount in this plane.

Here's what I can't quite figure out: The wood ply side rails in the nose have a cutout where the engine lugs fit between them, yet the only mounting hardware I see is two metal straps. What does the bottom of the engine lugs rest on? The photos in the manual don't show this, and the manual wasn't clear on this point, at least to me.

I asked my local hobby shop owners and they said I should just glue some ply under the wooden side rails, but that didn't seem like a very good answer, since I have to assume that everything is included in the kit that is necessary for mounting an engine.

BTW, I'm installing a Saito 72.

Anyone want to help a novice on this point?

Thanks,

Jeff
