Unhappy Ox5 engine

Well ,I dont think that I can avoid any longer finishing and installing the engine permanently.This is by far the most complicated part of the build so far.The information is there in the plans and booklet but it can be confusing and difficult to find at times.You must be very careful to study the proper sequence of installation of the various components ,as well as the positioning all the tubes&wiring.I am hoping I can reach everything without having to remove any of the fuselage cross bracing.If I had to do this again I would provide the fittings for these wires but I would wait to install the wires themselves forward of the front cockpit .Past experience should have warned me of this but I just had to see how the cross wiring looked installed.Now maybe I will have to take it all off.(why do I do these things to myself?)

I will try to post some new pics soon.Its been too darn cold and windy here to go out to the photoshop.After surviving 64 Canadian winters I now chose the days I go out. Cheers! John.
