Default tipping an engine?

I've never found a glow engine that can't mount that way. In fact on many ARF's that I've built, I've found that it is the best orientation of the engine to overcome tank height issues.

Just be sure you keep the spraybar of the carb within 3/8" above or below the centerline of the tank, or you may have fuel draw problems.
