    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    And a quick shot for @Jlc to show how little I had to cut out of the bottom hatch for the DA-85...looks great and should be able to get some excellent airflow over that big jug!

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    Final test fit of the firewall...I taped the firewall in place and the assembled/disassembled the engine/spacer/header/etc... to make sure I can get it all in and out once the firewall is Hysol'd in place...there is not much extra space but it all fits and I can get everything in/out without too...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    Barely any at all...and it's underneath the plane so you'll never see it (I can't knife edge that close to the ground :frown:...and I don't hover). I'll try to get a photo of it installed with the engine in place.

    Next problem I encountered is that the engine bay is too tight to allow me to get much of anything inside to mark engine mount center hole locations...and the carbon fiber is so slick I couldn't find anything to mark it :confused:... My wife came to my rescue...she had this awesome silver...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    That allowed me to set the final critical position which was rotary angle of the engine in the plane...I the taped the engine block to the prop drive lug so that the engine could not turn from that positon... So now i have the engine spinner locked in place and the rotary angle of the engine...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    Back on January 27th I made the claim I'd be doing this step the next day...but since life seems to get in my way at every turn recently...I'm doin' it on the 16th of February instead :frown: ANYWAY...Got some time to get back to the Raven and work on drilling the engine mount holes into the...

    IMAC Delro Raven 3.1M build

    Docdds11, I am hesitantly letting you know that I am on the exact step of installing the firewall in my 2.5M Raven from Delro right now...I hope to have it done and posted in my build thread this week...the preliminary mock up is already there. Check it out because while there is no "simple...
