With the engine suspended from the hoist, we unbolted and removed the pallet, leaving the engine swinging:
Matthew Brandes and his foreign-exchange student Nat came up to help put the engine on. Matthew has already been through this exercise on his RV-9A, so he is an old hand. We maneuvered the engine into place and managed to get the first three bolts in without much trouble, but the last one was kind of a goat-rope.
Chad was there to help too. Maybe he'll get started on his own RV soon…?
Finally, all four bolts went in. We unhooked the hoist and lowered the tail down before final-tightening the nuts.
I was able to get all four cotter pins put in, and considering that there's almost no access to install them, I'm happy with how they turned out.
The fuselage is on the wheels with the engine installed. Awesome.
The prop governor oil line comes pretty close to the engine mount. I'll have to keep an eye on this.
The oil filter looks like it's trapped forever, but there's just enough room to remove and reinstall it.
It took about an hour and a half for us to get the engine bolted to the mount, and another hour or so for me to get the bolts tightened, install the cotter pins, and clean up. All in all, much less work than I thought it would be. Thanks to Matthew, Nat, and Chad for the help.
