Status: offline 		Hey guys and gals,

I have been reading alot of posts and haven't read anywhere about motor mounts installed up and to the right on ARF kits. I have a Cessna 182 RTF 4Ch. It flies great, the motor was already installed when I got it. I am in the process of building a piper cub from Great Planes.
My motor mount is up and to the right. Why is it. I hope to hear from someone soon.

Thanks in Advance
Mike

Is the prop shaft centerd on the plane? Pictures really help with this kind of assessments( front and side views)

My ARF is the Great Planes J-3 electricub. The cowl placement was right on with just a slight trimming.
Thanks for your input. When I get my other full build kit I will have more questions.

Mike
