All,
What advice do you have about working on the cabin forward skins / top skin
without having an engine mount.
The Photo Assembly guide suggests not to drill any holes in the upper
engine/cabin frame mount until I have an engine mount. What have others done at
this stage, or did all of you have your engine mount already?

Keith,
I built an older 601 and used a builder's manual rather that a Photo
Assembly Guide, but the concern is that the motor mount holes and the
firewall studs line up with no unnecessary stress on the mount. The mounts
vary a little bit and depending on your choice, may come from various
suppliers. In my case, I simply built the fuselage according to plans,
especially the stud locations, and demanded that the mount be per plans too.
That turned out to be no problem. Remember that the mount will point down
and to the right when mounted. Of course, the easy answer is to get the
mount now. Most suppliers will sell just the mount, especially if you will
buy the rest of the FWF package from them later.

On my 801 I had the front end completed before I fabricated my mount. I
don't remember the 801 instructions calling out the 'put on the mount fi
rst' detail. My guess is they are afraid someone might distort the firew
all while riveting on the surrounding skins and if the mount was fabrica
ted on a flat surface plate, when bolted up it would place stress somewh
ere. Jus guessing here..
do not archive
