Today I mounted the engine inside the fuselage. First, threads are added.

With these, the engine is suspended inside the fuselage.

Then I add the wing struts. They hold the engine firmly in place.

Finally, some struts are added at the sides, and under the engine. Placing them inside the fuselage was like keyhole surgery. Luckily, I have some long tweezers.

The wings are finished, too. The leading edges are not my best work. There must be some better way to do this, but I haven't found it yet.
