Can anyone think of any advantages or disadvantages to hanging the engine on the mount early, like a year or two early? I want to put my engine up on a stand to do some work on it, and thought that it might be simpler to buy an engine mount or the whole FWF kit now and just hang the engine on the mount and bolt the mount to a wall or rolling stand.
I have seen some examples of homemade aircraft engine stands and I think it would just be simpler to hang the engine on a real mount.
Would doing this negatively affect the ability to bolt the mount to the fuselage due to any "settling" that might happen? Might it make mounting the cowl easier or harder?
