ORIGINAL: billberry189

Came home and got started with the firewall mounting the motor mount and landing gear mount. After looking at the photos for awhile, it dawned on me that if I rotated the mount about 30 degrees I could mount the muffler without an extension. It also brings the muffler closer to the nose of the fuselage giving it a cleaner appearance IMHO.
Okay, that's an idea I'm going to steal since I'm getting the same engine and mount.

Could you explain what the lines drawn off-center do? (I read in the instructions something about off-setting the engine to compensate for the right thrust, but had no idea how, or why, to do it.) I have *very* limited model building experience.

Cheers,
Richard
