I did find 1/4" styrene angle to use for trim pieces, lighter and cheaper than the K&S and it is 14" long. Have a 10 pack on the way from Evergreen Scale Models, train folks., $28.

Worked out the throttle and choke servos, the nose wheel servo will be mounted on the left side in the same manner. Was worried about the flex in the firewall possibly breaking the motor mount so the 1/4" thick aluminum strips were added. Once the nose wheel servo is mounted , need to install fiberglass strips around the firewall. The nosewheel is going to get reworked, too long. The original Cherokee was swinging a 25" prop so the gear was lengthen to accommodate, pretty sure this will swing a 22" prop.

Working on the tail cone as well, laid up three tail cone, wasn't happy with the first two, this one looks to be a winner.
