Status: offline 		I'm building a profile (Burrito) and trying to sort out where to mount everything. Can a motor (glow) be mounted on either left or right side of the profile fuse?
Also, if you're familiar, what would be your choice of motor? An OS 46AX or Saito 82.
Thanks for the help.

Either engine will work on it. My preference would be the Saito for getting you out of trouble just a little quicker.
Mount the engine last, after the servos and covering are on. Use the engine to set the coarse CG after all the other components are in place.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the response. That's what I would do, exhaust port down. But, IF I reversed it, do you see any problems with the exhaust facing up.
As for the engiine, that's what I was thinking about with the Saito. Instant torque!

There is NO benefit to reversing the engine like that!!!
