they haven’t changed the carb design, so I recommend making an adapter to rotate the carb 90 degrees. The adapter setup I used will push the carb back another 1/4
Great Here is my own modified Stick with my own fuselage.

My motor is going to stick out another 3.5 inches I was thinking on removing the velocity stack and keep it a half in from the firewall.
I am getting a new one second hand for 800 bucks.
I see they stuck a saito 100 on this stick . I think that is over kill.
I see on the saito 100 the carb is still on the side like this one. I wonder why they didnt put that one on the bottom of the newly designed 100.
What do you do about all the spitting of the fuel that will be in the fuse?
What I could do is drill a hole in the firewall just for the velocity
stack and could get a 3/4 inch more back .
It would be real close to the wire of the front gear.
Right now my stand offs could be close to 4 inches long because I would like the velocity stack to be a 1/2 in away from the firewall so I can have room for air and prime it with my finger.
That would be 9 1/2 inches to the prop hub. WOW! and that would be exactly a 4 inch stand off.
