Default RE: Engine Mount on Tower Hobbies Trainer ARF

ORIGINAL: KitCrasher

Has anyone had trouble with the supplied engine mount for the Tower Hobbies Trainer 40 ARF?

The Tower Hobbies Trainer 40 ARF comes with an engine mount that uses a top plate to hold the engine to the mount, instead of the standard, drilling through the engine mounting holes directly into the engine mount. This configuration looks like it might allow the engine to slide or twist on the mount.

Any advice/experience is much appreciated.
Shouldn't be any problem. These mounts give actually a pretty strong hold. I am still flying my old Hobbico 60 size Trainer with a Irvine 72 on one of these mounts, and there is no slip or movement. Just make sure you check it once in a while. No worries.
