| Brief Description: |
Mounting the engine |
|
|
It's a big moment when I actually get to mount the engine for the first time. The rubber shock absorbers are pushed into position along with high tensile 3/8" course thread bolts. These are not going to be the final ones but will do for the ground testing until I get in the MS20074-6 ones. As I do not have an engine stand, I have had to raise the rear of the fuselage in order to lower the nose down to the level of the engine sitting on a saw horse. The bolts are carefully tightened being careful to not cross the threads and strip them. |
