7-15-12 ==> Katana Extreme "Dumb Thumb" Repairs (Page 3)
7-16-12 Little more progress......
Engine is mounted, and firewall thrust angle, and mount offset look good...
End of prop shaft is aligned with center line of fuse... (good deal)
I was off by about 1/16" on the canopy mounting on the right side, when I repaired it previously...
had to break glue, and re-glue in the correct position.... (should be good to go now)..

(Muffler fell off, and had to land about 8 minutes into the flight, but Charlie Thomas found the muffler
in the first 5 minutes of our search, when 4 of us formed a posse and went looking... Charlie is the Man!)
