Engine Install

The engine install was the hardest part for me. Each measurement was crucial and there were no mounts in hand. Mounting hardware had to be made in the shop. My head pipe design was also a pain. I went through three designs before I got one that would not either plant itself in a farmers field at altitude, or was interfering with the prop. The first head pipe came over the top but it blasted into the prop. So I finally got it mounted and designed from below with all the right joints to allow it to vibrate without harm.
