kmot; took a while for the smoke to settle, but found out it wasn't the firewall. after your mishap, I fiberglessed mine, so all I saw was red when I grabbed the spinner and could move it real easy, but after pulling the cowl off I found out it was just the motor mount, got it repalced now just waiting for some nice weather, or at least something with winds less the 25mph on my day off
, so anybody going glow may want to use a different motor mount than the one that comes with the plane
