The motor fits

I sheeted the bottom of the left wing this morning and forgot to take a picture of it.  I finally found the motor I was planning on using under a piece of paper (Paper covers Rock) and started building a motor mount.  It went pretty fast and fit way better than I expected.
When I quit this evening I had the motor and speed control mounted.  I checked the motor rotation and got it right the first time, it will not be easy to change once I finish the sheeting of the fuselage.  The P-39 should be fairly fast as the motor is capable of 2.3 horsepower the way I am setting it up.
