Status: offline 		I am building the same kit and I have some doubts regarding engine installation. I am using an spe 26 gasoline engine. In the instructions manual does not say anything regarding engine downthrust and right side incidence. The firewall does not have any incidence built at it so I am having doubts how much incidence should I have to make. I am installing the engine at the same position as DVS1 (you can see the pictures at post number 275, page 11 of this thread).

Thank you

My question is now where i can find matching rubber tires for my rims so i can get a complete pair of wheels?

Perfect. I have a pair of Robart 4" tires lying around since I crashed my TP P51.
Thanks Airscrew
