Amazing how much can be done with no interruptions and keeping concentration.  Stan modified the engine mount to make it sturdier.  The original had a massive hardwood block that was routed out and just glued to the center sheeting.   Was okay if you fiber glassed the center section with the mount.  The bell crank mount is just sitting there right now.  Have a few more details I'm working on.

The second picture is what is under all the clamps. D>K

Not too much to report as  friend at Church passed to a better place and funeral was Saturday.  Of course Church is Sunday.  After dinner I made it out to the shop and got bell crank/push rod installed.   Picture later.   Started on fuel tank modification. D>K

Amazing how slow I am.  Spent one day modifying a fuel tank.  The bell crank mount is done as well as the lead outs.  Center section is planked and some detail work on wing tips.   Just have the tail assembly to attach with the stab/elevator.   Then it will be sanding time.  Yes I almost forgot to drill for the engine mounting.

That is a Fox Rocket.  Needs a little more break in.   Any way final pics for this section as, all I need is to do final sanding nd put the rudder on.  Right now I have about 20 degree movement on the elevator.   Then off to the finishing section. D>K

The second pic is top view, of course third pic is bottom.
