Got the DA35 mounted and setup. Some aspects were easy, but there was definitely some work involved:
Nice and shiny!
Holes drilled, standoffs and engine mounted. Thought pattern was different, but turns out it's the same as a DLE30
So the choke setup isn't the easiest if you want a use a rod pull inside the cowl, and activate the choke with a finger through a cooling inlet. For a choke servo or bell crank setup in the fuse it works nicely.
Ended up rigging a rod pull, but had to get find a small head screw otherwise the throttle binds.
So right now the choke works fine, but won't close for choking with throttle above 1/3rd. Funny little safety bonus!
Test fit looks good!
Installed a Pitts muffler; big thanks to [MENTION=271]Enterprise[/MENTION] for bailing me out and sending it so fast). Had to trim the lower motorbox overlap to get proper clearance.
Had to cut away a fair amount of cowling to get it on with the big Pitts muffler ports, but that'll just help keep it cooler
Used a piece of large rubber grommet to protect the spark cable.
All ready to start, I used a 20x8 Mej since it's what I had on hand, however planning to use a falcon 20x9 eventually.
