OK the trick here is this side truss must lie in a single
plain. The length of the schertz beam is adjusted accordingly.
The lower outer firewall mounting points are not really
needed but we will use them anyway to laterally brace
the nose gear space frame. Not shown yet. There are
some othe minor braces as well. The rear motor mount will
required a custom oil pan but it too is rather simple.
Not done yet. I just want to know what all you people
think.

The front motor mount is beautiful. Really clean!   Sorry to hear
that a custom pan will be required  for the back strut. I can't see
why, but I take  your word for it.  What about the strut bracket I
prototyped a month or so ago which is attached via the rear pan
bolts?  Jerry


Something similar Jerry but the rear mount will be tilted
forward to pick up the top of the nose gear structure so a bit
of oil pan clearance will be required. We have this strong
nose gear structure sticking out there we might as well use it.
Engine inertia loads in a hard landing will wind up in the
nose gear structure anyway.
