Mine is here. Finally.
A couple things right out of the box I wondered about.. The sky light is a decal. My Monocote was all drum tight. Holes for Engine install are marked but not drilled.also it includes real henges, and the surfaces are drilled. YES.

I have gone through the whole online manual twice. I am aware of the sky light decal and I am not too crazy about having to glue the cowling ring myself, but still I just clicked on "Place Order..." This is insane!

I'm not going to bother with the sky light window decal.

I had to move the electric starter motor on the Onboard starter because it interfered with the cowl. on the top. I had to grind off the upper corner on that mount.
now the motor can be mounted Correctly and the Exhaust will exit the cowl correctly. the shot with the cowl shows where the electric motor rubbed the top of the cowl. the other 2 pix shows the silver mount part I made to move it down.

That Aluminum part you made, was it a piece of a part of something else, or did you machine it completely from scratch, I noticed that it had other holes in it, like it was used for something else at one time; I see how it works, moving the Starter motor further down, using one of the originally mounting holes and creating a new one, I may change my mind if I can find something similar to use to make a second mounting hole.

Wonder if the EME 35 + starter would have the same mounting issues as the DLE 35 + EME starter?
