rslstft,

A couple of questions about the install of the Evo 33. In the manual the distance from the firewall to the front face of the thrust washer is 6 inches. The Evo 33 with the stock wrap around muffler is approx 8 inches, I see in your pics above that it looks like you used a Bisson muffler. One thing I'm pretty anal about is mufflers sticking out the side of the cowl on a scale ship. Did you use the Bisson to move the engine back to get the proper distance to the front of the cowl? Did you try to use the wrap around muffler? And, did you have to add any nose weight? That Evo engine is pretty large, so I'm thinking adding nose weight should be minimal. I have a Syssa 30cc engine that would probably work, but it's pretty light when compared to other engines. I'm looking forward to your input! Thank you!
