Motor Mount & Firewall Forward

Here's the motor mount attached to the firewall. I also finished most of the attachments and prep to the firewall that need to be completed before mounting the motor. I'm planning on mounting the motor this weekend.

This is a dynafocal type 1 engine mount. See how the four rings are pointed inward? They're pointed to the center of gravity of the engine. This helps reduce engine vibration and movement. They're considered the best type of mount but the drawback is they're more difficult to make which makes them more expensive and they're harder to install.

The tube at the bottom of the picture is where the nose landing gear attaches.
