Hi Paul,   The rotary and the Tailwind fuselage are now one.
Enclosed are  a couple of photos to show the clearance over the top
of the engine using a 12" spinner and also the rear motor mount.  The
rear mm is made from scrap mild steel 2" x 1/8" angle.  A  1/4" thick
aluminum  version may follow eventually. The rear of the engine can
be adjusted up or down by adding spacers under the rubber bushings.
I plan to  brace the horizontal 7/8" x .049 tube where the rear mm
attaches.

I have removed the 2024T3 pan/motor mount plate.   I believe the
aluminum was originally purchased for around $190.00 from ACS.   It
is a perfect fit.   Since it has had several different motor mounts
configurations attached, there are a few extra 1/4" holes down the
sides.  If someone wants this, it is free.

What do you think Jerry? Does it look strong enough to fly?
