Dude if you going to fly foamies then get yourself some of this http://www.selleys.com.au/Selleys-Ar...y/default.aspxThe joints will be stronger than the original.Grab an engine mount from your local LHSit will be better than what was installed. They quite often make it a weakpoint so itbreaks before all ealse. Goodgrouding for repairs when you step up to balsa and coveral, because you have to acess the situation work out how to fix it. With foam you can improvise, strengthen members with timber screwers or tooth pics and all surfaces are glueable. Nothingwrong with a good foamie to play with ........................have fun.
Disapointing thatthis is a two day old plane but definately not a throw away there's more fun to be had with that bird yet ..............cheers
Ps you can beef up the firewall by inserting a light ply replacement, did that to a p51 when installed a bigger motor required diferant set back.
