I’m still not convinced I’m doing the right thing with this.
If I give you some more detail you might understand my problem.
This plane was designed for a 90 size glow engine. The fire wall is pre drilled for a beam mount set at 270 degrees around to the right presumably to allow the muffler to exit out the bottom of the plane. The DLE is also a beam mount but I decided to use the more common inverted mount system for a gas engine.
So this is what I did:
I measured the fire wall and marked the horizontal and vertical centre lines.
The mount on the DLE is central to the prop driver so I placed the engine mount on the horizontal line but moved it over to the left to take account of the right thrust.
So from my point of view the engine is in the correct place, please correct me if I’m wrong.
Now the problem comes when I put the cowl on.
If I line up the cowl so that it’s sitting nice and square on the fuse and all the stripes line up etc it looks like the engine is too low. If I reposition the cowl so that it lines up with the spinner it looks a real mess.
So is my way to position the engine all wrong and do I raise the engine so that the cowl looks real nice, or do I put up with the cowl being ugly?
Sorry to take a second bite at this but I need your help.

I hope you guys can help
Thanks
