Hello to everyone. Let me just introduce myself first and say that I have been reading alot of your posts on here and everyone seems to be extremely pleasant and helpful. I have been flying electrics and micro heli's now for over three years. Now, I have joined a club, the AMA and have decided to go glow for various reasons of the least, is the wind here in Oklahoma City that doesn't allow for many electric flying days out of the year!

Currently, I am building a Sky Raider Mach I and need some suggestions. First off, let me say that for $70, you can't go wrong with this plane. The covering job is top notch for an ARF, the hardware package is about as complete as it gets (although, the cheap Dubro fuel tank knockoff was headache to get together) and many of the parts are just a little bit off which is no big deal if you have the patience and creativity to work around those. My next plane will be the Sig Somethin Extra in kit form so this should no longer be an issue b/c if they are off, it's my fault! All in all, so far I am pretty impressed and can't wait to maiden her.

My question is the engine mounting. I have a Super Tiger GS51 that I am trying to install on this plane. The engine mount is hard nylon and due to the close proximity of the head to the mounting holes, it is creating some problems for me mounting it. Any suggestions that might make it a tad easier?

Thanks
