RE: glow engine mounting question.
Do just park it for a while and plan to get back to it, that is the reasonable approach. Indeed it will make a very nice little aerobat with a good modern 25. My preferrance would be an OS 25FX or AX. I really am a fan of the new AX line except the 46 which is an older design with the earlier remote needle carb.
The trouble also with the Nitro Planes most of them that is they are cheap for a reason and that reason is in three places. Customer service will not be on par with other majors, thats a given. Next argualbly the most expensive thing to develop to put in that box is the owners manual/instructions so they get around this by sticking in a simple pictografh that frequently is not even the exact same model and frequently the CG recommendations are dangerously wrong. Finally the last problem with many of these directly sold or small US resellers like Nitroplanes you find the hardware packages are often very poor quality, different from container load to load or simply unworkable.
So if you need no warranty or help from the reseller and you need no instructions to figure out how to assemble an arf and properly install and set the controls Then balance the airplane with no reliable info, finally can make his own decisions about which hardwards to use and which to replace then these airplanes many of them make fine projects and many are great flying airplanes.
If you must have any or all of those three items then stick to a major supplier, it will cost more but cheaper in the long run both in frustration and money.
