Sure, you are very welcome.

Of course, an important part of the man hours are spend discussing, thinking or just having a beer.

Hej Peter

I really would like to thank you for your great documentation of the project. I hope to join the TW28 builders club soon when the postman brings the candy to me.

Until than, if you don't mind, I have downloaded every single picture of your build. I have been looking at your very clean work. That will be really helpful along the way for us. I hope you don't mind.

Keep up the good work, and keep the pics coming.

Still freezing, but it is time to start again, to much pressure from Turkey :D.

We did get the engine in the hull. We went for a Mitsubishi 42 pk.

This is it, with a temporary template for a system for mounting a Python drive and a thrust bearing.

Looks good Peter. Great progress. How much room do you have between the front of the engine and the bulkhead? Looks pretty tight!!!

You are right.
We want the engine as far forward as possible because
- we need the space for a Python drive
- we want the down angle of the shaft as small as possible

We will make a hatch in the bulkhead. This hatch will be below the steps from the cabin to the kitchen, so this is no problem.
