36. Next we’ll install the engine. We have made this process very easy, especially

if using the recommended DA-70. There are laser scribed marks for mounting

the DA-70, only requiring that you drill to accept 1/4-20 mounting bolts. The

center and offset marks have been scribed into the front of the firewall with a

laser to align mounting templates for other makes of engine. Print out the engine

mounting template for your chosen engine (typically available on the

manufacturer's website) and tape it in place using the horizontal and vertical

lines for alignment. Drill at the specified locations on the template.

37. If using the DA-70 we highly recommend using our Blazing Star mount for

proper engine spacing and cowl-to-spinner clearance. You may find that you

need to use the 2mm Delrin spacer for proper clearance. The distance from the

motorbox face to the spinner backplate is 6 5/8". If using the spacer be sure it

goes between the mount and plywood motorbox face. Mount the engine using

1/4-20x1.75" socket head cap bolts, washers and nylon insert locking nuts.
