Default RE: 33% Laser 200 on a diet

Mounted the motor today and removed a 2 1/4" diameter circle from the firewall, between the hardwood dowels. I also removed 1/2" from the height of the firewall and saved another 1.2oz.

I decided to stop lightening the Firewall until I can do a preliminary balance since this plane has such a long tail moment. I may need the extra weight up front.
