Upright Fox 35 on a profile

[Bootlegger]

   What kind of way have you folks found works best to set up an upright engine on a profile fuse, such as Al Rabe did on some of his Mustunt profiles??

  Hope that I made myself clear, and thanks a lot...

   Pretty much the way that Al did! If you are going to kit bash a Twister or something like that, you don't even need the Mustunt full size plan, just the magazine page to duplicate the construction. The biggest draw back in my opinion to this type of fuselage is the extra weight in the nose that all of the balsa block needed to fill out the nose adds, so be careful in that respect. Keep it to a minimum. It could probably be done with heavy formers and molded sheet.

 I did a trainer for my grandson and used a Dave Brown radial mount. I attached the radial mound to a piece of ply that had blind nuts in it. I tapered balsa blocks to the fuse. It lasted several seasons and a few straight in oops!....Gene

   Yes, the way Al did it, or a radial mount a la the Imitation, both work fine. I have built two like Als (very long ago) and it worked just like a full fuselage. Don't scrimp on the blocks around the leading edge, it still shakes and can shake the nose loose pretty easily.
