Default RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

Hi all,

I was looking at different ways to mount the engine in the SD and was wondering about the merits of building a box rather than mount on stand-offs.
I was thinking that with a good engine box, you were guaranteed a straight surface to bolt the engine against where as if I use stanoffs, I run a risk on the spacers being slightly uneven.
Wouldn't a box also be easier to set for the desired down and right thrust?

Any comments?

Regards

Ari
