| Subject: | Positioning firewall before engine mount |
Has anyone had any trouble positioning the firewall before fitting the engine mount.
The top at the cabin frame and the bottom at the extrusions are set, leaving
the two side ones to worry about. I wish to keep working at the fuse, not
having an engine mount at this time. Thanks

I built my firewall before having the engine mount and regret it.
If you have the mount then you can use it to sanity check the position of
the lower frame rails and the nose gear shelf.
In my case I had to do some slight repositioning and trimming to get
everything to fit just right.
If you have access to another builder's engine mount then try to borrow it,
otherwise I would order it/fabricate it first.
Good luck!

Sorry I was not very clear on this. I am talking about the location of the firewall
in respect to the 2 side skins. Once all the holes are drilled in the side
skin at the firewall rivet line it will be positioned, possibly incorrectly.
Thanks

install
I have not yet installed the servo into my tail, but am doing some wiring
for the trim.
Can someone confirm my visualization that the servo arm retracting should
result in nose up trim?
Thanks,

I built the firewall before I had the mount and for the most part everything worked
out pretty well. I did have to do a fair amount of trimming on the bottom
lugs of the engine mount (the new-style ring mount) to get them to fit between
the rails, and had to make shims to fit underneath the rails to take up the
slack. I suspect thats pretty normal. The other points on the mount fit
fine without adjustment.
All else being equal, if you know what engine you're going to use I'd go ahead
and get the mount now. It will come in handy again when you mate the forward
fuselage to the back half. If that's a problem, forge ahead without it.

With retraction the Tab is moved down which raises the elevator which
pushes the tail down and the nose comes up, yep you are right.
