Default RE: Inverted OS .46 Floods

I'm with you John on #4. Unless I am dying to hide my engine via the inverted choice, I always mount my engines sideways and never get the probs of running engines inverted where the tank is significantly higher. A club buddy was having probs running inverted just a couple weeks ago. He was using a GP mount which has the same bolt pattern inverted and sideways, so I suggested the easy fix to just turn the engine sideways. He had to reroute throttle linkage but he said it was easy, and of course had to cut new holes in the cowl. BUT he is one happy camper with the engine now...running reliably and flying a lot. Jon
