You will need to fabricate standoffs to mount the motor ahead of the provided mounting box. You will also have to cut a clearance hole in the mounting box to clear the carb. I side mounted mine. It leaves the right side of the cowl empty.
Static balance of the ailerons is putting a 2 oz wt 4" ahead of the aileron hinge line on a rod that is connected to the aileron on the tip of the wing
