Default OS Motor in tower hobby trainer 40 mk2

Hello,

does anybody know if the OS 46 ax2 will fit in the tower hobbies 40 mk 2 trainer ? the needle valve on the ax2 is at 45 degrees ( to keep fingers a little farther away) and the 46 la needle valve comes out straight and i'm worried that the needle valve might hit the fuselage.

use an xacto knife and trim the fuselage if needed. Its not a big deal, the tower 40 has a precut cut away for engines with a remote needle valve, some adjustment would be expected should you go to a different motor. the fuselage in the area you would be trimming is cosmetic only and cutting out a small area to make room for the needle valve would not affect anything in terms of fly-ability

I have a OS 46LA in my Tower Trainer. I don't believe I had to do any mods for it to fit the needle valve.
