The engine is mounted to the main chassis while the gearbox is mounted to the wing mounting holes.

I decided to mount the engine on a F104 instead after seeing that with a shorty lipo,and all the electronics mounted inline, I could design a late 60's era F1 body.
Sure that is not a DFX or even the DFY version ? Just kidding, that is an awesome job ! Can't wait to see the finished project.
