RE: Rare Bear Engine Mounting
...tooo much engine???!! Whatever.... I've got a ys 140 in mine.....If you put a 90 (as reccomended) you'ld be at WOT the whole time you flew just to keep it in the air....Engine weight is much better than lead!! and this is a fairly weighty beast for those little 63" wings!!
... I think some people in the original thread where cutting the firewall back to get propper allignment... What i did with the YS 140 (similar problem but as you know the carb can move) was to use a differnt mount (the stock mount that comes with the kit sticks a ways off the firw wall as it is) I used a Jtec snuff-vibe and ended up with plenty of room to move the engine on the mount rails and get it alligned well with the cowl.
Do yourself a favor if you haven't and read the main thread and do the mods (retract mounts and horiz. stab).....otherwise you'll be sorry
