Hey Paul!

I'm having a rather "thick moment".... everything is covered and ready for final dry fit, assembly and gear. Does the rudder post stay in one piece? I know in the directions you talk about leaving it in one piece to make assembly and alignment easier.... I'm assuming it stays, but then that presents another problem. The tube bottoms out against the rudder post BEFORE the front of the motor mount is flush with the nose/chin of the fuse... I'm fairly certain the back of the motor mount is bottomed out against the center rib structure, but can you confirm whether the newer Mojo60 kits have the tube cut to length or not?...

At this point, my choices are:
1) Cut the section out of the rudder post and see if I can get things pushed together any farther...
2) Cut the tail end off the tube and see if I can get things pushed together any farther...
3) Leave everything in the tail alone, assume I'm getting good contact inside the wing, and cut the front of the motor mount off flush with the fuse...

Also - more of a minor point - am I seeing correctly that the motor mount ends up slightly thicker than the fuse above and below? It's the thickness of the ply sheeting on both sides, actually...

Thanks for the help!

You'll want to cut the tube to fit. Wrap the tube with masking tape where you want to cut it and use a hack saw with a metal cutting blade for best results.
