Default RE: Rear Mounted Engines, how does it work?

Here's the rear motor installation.
The upper scoop made all the difference in engine cooling. The small one on the side was supposed to be enough, but it didn't do the job.
The gas tank is put in conventionally, with the fuel and pressure lines wrapped back to the motor.
Both motors use the same throttle servo.
There's a 10x5 prop on the front, and a 10x6 pusher on the rear.
When both motors are running, it flies like an .80 powered Kadet is supposed to!
