You did a nice job with the tapered mounts and curve for the nose..
Get the long drill bits especially if you are using a hand drill. It gives you more of a reference to help you drill perpendicular holes. The long bit also gets you drill motor elevated so you can use the motor as a drilling template. Drill holes with bit that gives you a snug fit to you mounting screws. Drill 1st hole, put screw in 1st hole, drill 2nd hole and put screw in it, so on so forth. Your holes will be perfectly aligned.
If you are interesed in building in 1° downthrust, I have a good trick for that. I use phenolic for mounting pads instead of aluminum. I epoxy the phenolic to the maple mounts, no need for screws. After pads are epoxied on, glue a piece of ~100 grit sandpaper to a flat surface. Surface needs to be a little wider than your crutch and about twice as long as the crutch. Sandpaper only needs to be about 6" long. You want paper only where the pads are, so as not to sand anything off of the aft end of you crutch. Put crutch top down on sanding surface and sand the taper into the pads. By keeping only 2 contact points, the pads and the aft end of the crutch on the sanding surface the taper will be automatic. Before start sanding, with felt tip pen put mark down the middle of each pad. This will be a reference to let you know when done. The sanding line will progress from rear of pad to the front. When you have just sanded off the full length of the mark you have created a flat surface on the pads that will have slightly less than 1°. If you want to try it I can send you a couple of the pads in an envelope. Let me know what size you want. This method can also be done with the aluminum, but the phenolic sands easier and is plenty tought enough for the purpose. If you do it with aluminum, do it without the screws in them. If you switch to 150 paper right at the end you will have a nicer finish to pad surface.
