RE: Rebuilding a 30 year old Dumas DV 40!

Here is the old Fox 45 after many years of good service. The replacement is an OS 46AX. This was flown less than five times, and is like new. The main reason I'm using his engine is that our flying field was closed down about 3 years ago and at this point there is no hope of it ever flying there again. So, this will be putting a good engine to good use.

I'm re-using the old Octura engine mount. I have shifted the engine so that the boat mounting holes line up with fresh wood.
