Mounting the motor... continued.

The final step in mounting the motor was to drill out the remaining two mounting holes, countersink them and then mount the motor and the rear motor mount support bracket. Here are the pics...

1. The motor mount is now bolted to the nose of the plane with all 4 bolts installed.
2. Motor is installed now with the rear mount in place. I used light ply for the brackets that attach to the fuselage and these were reinforced with fiberglass where they attach to the fuselage.
3. The other side of the mounting bracket.
