I have been building the new CMP P-40 arf and have hit a bump......

The plane has come with a piece of crap antivibration engine mount..... I went out and got a better one from dave brown


but the problem is that if I use a anti-vibration mount... it will raise the level of the engine thereby offsetting the spinner....

when they made the plane they lined it up for a direct mount only..... so why include the vibra mount???

I included some pics.....

Do you guys think the wooden mount is strong enough to mount the engine (150 Saito 4S) direct???? remember this plane has a fiberglass fuse.


please help













If I mount the engine direct it lines up just fine.
