I have been looking at various options for the struts that hold the engine. They have to be very strong, as all the propulsion power goes through these, yet they must also be very light. Here is what I came up with – Aluminium rods flattened at the end and mounted to the engine gondola/fuselage with 4mm screws. I have been pulling and wriggling these, trying to get them to break, but they didn’t budge.
