You will have to trim the body opening around the engine a bit larger for the handle. I did this after seeing the interference problem and works great.

What you did sounds great, just make sure nothing is exposed to dirt.

Pull cord handle tends to get caught in the throttle linkage and can cause the Rc throttle stick!
