Status: offline 		I have been away from RC aircraft for a long time now and have a question reguarding the crankcase widths of the different .60 glow engines. Is their a standard width used? I've started building the Sig beachcraft Bonanza kit. I have the engine mounts but don't have the engine for it as of yet. I would like to install the engine mounts but not sure as the how far apart to mount them. Your help on this would be greatly appreciated.... Thank You in advance

Here's the info for the OS engines:
