Oh yeah, I worked on the RV (the winged version)

After installing the motor mount, I saw in the really really fine, tiny, hardly noticeable corner of one the drawings that you have to drill a hole to allow you to put in the front gear leg bolt into the motor mount. Also, one drawing says to make the hole 3/4" and another says to make the hole 1 inch. Hmmm.... Which one? So I removed the motor mount and made a 1 inch hole. I also noticed that that in the same drawing, there are multiple holes that can be done at this stage for various cables and stuff. So I will do that tomorrow. Apparently the missing of the drilling of this hole is a common mistake among builders.
