TF giant p-51 engine mount
First, i was surprised that i went back 6 pages and fgound no thread on this bird. Oh well, anyway....I have this model. The motor used by TF is the US engines 41cc. I went with the DL50. The centerline drawn on the firewall by TF is actually off center. Should i use that line for the DL50? I have the template for the 50. Just need to make sure of the centerline.

Yes you should use the offset center line that is marked on the firewall . The offset is needed to correctly position the engine for the prop shaft to be centered in the cowl to accomodate for the built in right thrust .

update.....i used the offset centerline and installed my motor. it appears to be just right.
