OK - so it's now September and we haven't done much with the engine. Mostly slogging through wiring stuff. Man is that a pain in the ass. But have no fear, we finally decided to just jump in and hang the engine.

So here we are with the engine on the hoist (a very nice present to Bob from his dad who owns and built a Glasair). We are checking alignment using my favorite tool, the B&D CrossFire laser level. We are able to check both level and center of the fuselage at the same time. Unfortunately, it was a bright day and you can't see the laser lines. Trust me, it's there.
