 He above pictures are the start of mounting my body to my frame.  As in my R2 the body hangs off the frame and the frame is designed to take all the loads from when it is moving around by RC.  So before I can reach this stage I had to map out the location on the body of the mounting bracket.  I then had to match this up to the frame and marked the frame part to make sure the angle is correct.  This angle will determine the body angle with respect to the horizontal.  Unfortunately I did nt have enough material for 2 lengths of angle so for now I have mounted only the one side
