Boom length is adequate, but would be better if it was another 3/4" long. Some time in the future I may research boom lengths and see if I can locate one a bit longer than the one I got from HeliProz. Now, the tail rotor shaft is forward of the centerline of the vertical fin. For appearance, it would look better in line with the fin and tailcone seam.
The wood platform dimensions are 3/4" high by 12" long and 4" wide.
The landing gear mount blocks are spaced 9" on center apart to provide a scale distance between struts, and the aft mount is located 1" forward of the rear edge of the side rail.
The frame mounts are 7-1/4" on center apart, and the aft mount is located 1-1/2" forward of the rear edge of the side rail. I glued a 1/16" piece of plywood to the aft frame mount to raise the aft end of the frames and tilt the mechanics slightly forward. This provided the proper boom alignment, as you can see in the pic it is perfectly centered in the fuse.
The wood platform is attached to the fuse using Household Goop, which is available at most hardware stores. I got mine at HomeBase. This stuff works great, and absorbs a bit of the vibration as it remains somewhat flexible when dry. I was really happy with the way it secured the wood down. Thanks to Jerry and Joe at the scale forum for the tip!
The fuse is attached to the mounts using the stock Raptor landing gear screws, screwed in from underneath the fuse. Small holes in the fuse allow the screws and screwdriver to be inserted.
