Default 4* 40 engine position

Hi Guys,

Maybe I am a worry-wart. I am putting the finishing touches on my new 4* 40. One thing I noticed was that I somehow managed to position the engine mounts lower than they are supposed to be. To give you an idea, I am installing the OS 46AX engine in my plane. I am probably going to have to trim away a small section of the right fuselage cheek.....probably have to remove about 1/4 inch to 1/3 inch off the top of the cheek, to allow for clearance of the muffler.

What do ya think? Big deal, from a flying perspective? I know I can trim it up and make it look nice with my dremmel tool.
