XWB: Do you know if they were installing the engines in this photo? It seems the frame is attached to the ground from different sides, my guess this was before installing the engines.

Engines were installed in February, picture here: static.ow.ly/photos/original/1yHGd.jpgNot sure why FTV1 is attached to the ground, maybe as part of the first engine run? |

Although the body is still unpainted. Based on the tail, BBD seems to be going for a less flashy paint job on their first test aircraft
