I have a question that I have been wanting to ask , now that we have a thread on this build. When I built my progressive kit, The nose of the plane was too short to house the motor. I powered mine with a Mvvs quickee motor. I had to add about 3/4 of an inch to the nose. Is this normal? I was under the impression that all 40 sized motors were about the same in size. In some of the pics I have seen of other Flying Machines there is a gap between the nose and the spinner..in others there is no gap. did I make a mistake when building my kit that caused this? The reason I ask is that I will be building one of the short kits and I do not want to make the same mistake again.

ps..yes the motor is pushed back as far as possible on the mount.
