George ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:34:35 AM PST US From: Keith Ashcraft Subject: Zenith-List: Working on a 701 forward cabin without an engine mount 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?

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.

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.
