Firewall is finished. Motor goes in through nose ring. Easier to attach screws through firewall when the chin cowl is removed and looking in from the bottom.
Weight of the fuse so far with firewall, rudder tray and added former is 803 gms.

The plane calls for a 3 1/4" spinner. I like the Great planes spinners for electrics. Fairly light with a lightened aluminum backplate. (CF may be lighter) cheap $12.95 and looks good as long as you don't take a starter to it. Weight is 60 gms.
