With school out I won't be so hindered in the afternoons when I wake up. I'm hoping to get into the habit of flying on calm days at 3:00 before the baseball coaches are home from work. I wish I got to fly more events. Flying alone is too much like 1977. Same field, too.

No idea what you mean by properly, but it should not be that difficult to make it flight worthy. Slide the mount forward, apply glue inside the tube with a stick and slide the mount back into position.

Oh, sure. If you want to do it the easy, uncomplicated way.

I always enjoy the flight reports.
I wish my camera took pictures as good as yours.

Regarding the Bullpup engine mount -
I would think a fillet on the upper ring should be enough to keep it all in place.
I just looked at mine to see if it is reachable.
Pull out the parachute and you can see the ring from the top.
With a dowel, push the mount rearward until the engine mount tube is even with the end of the tail cone.
Apply a fillet drop by drop from the end of a rounded dowel. The end of the rounded dowel can smooth out the glue drops into a fillet.

You've probably already figured this out.
