Hi Marv,

Thanks to the builder's list I was able to kill time usefully in when in
England two weekends ago. I visited Michael Fopp and drooled all over
his project. I was able to pick up a whole bunch of useful hints. One of
which addresses your concern about the lack of hardpoints to prevent the
fiberfrax from compressing. He cut the holes for the engine mount bolts
oversize in the fiberfrax and placed a washer between the SS and the
prepreg/phenolic mount. He also recommended to drill out the washer to
save weight.
