Engine mount screw/bolt
The engine mount screw that's behind the muffler on the Raptor 30. I think this has been mentioned somewhere else. It's a PITA. Has anybody ever flown without it or found an alternative.

Yeah, I'm with ya there.. it's a pain to have to take the muffler off to remove the engine. I ground down the short side of a hex head wrench so I could get it in there and take out the screw.

It may be hard to get to, but leaving out an engine mount bolt for your convenience
is not a good idea. How often are you taking out the engine?

 though there isn't a lot of room for that and even then the length of the bolt itself is a pain.I can't think of a solution apart from one I read somewhere which was to open the frame hole into a slot though I dunno if that would work successfully.  It has also been suggested to use a hex head bolt so a spanner can get in there but then the bolt length is a pain.
