Hi Stephano, nice cradle! About engine position, all I can guess is by mounting the engine horizontally, you keep the carberator closer to the center line of the fuel tank. That ASP 1.80 fs engine is about a pound heavier than a saito 1.80, so your right, mounting it horizontally throws a ore weight to side of the plane. You could help compensate by installing battery, receiver, etc on opposite side of fuse to help balance.
Is the same thing i was thinking. I've to put everything on the other side. Rx 2100 2s mAh life battery, 4500 1S nimh battery for the glow-plug, RX and other.

I like your cradle. Great job, mind if I copy it?
Why not? Down here you can find the original project made by a friend of mine to do this cradle that i converted.
