I usualy forget about the measurement from the hub etc, etc. What I do is to mount the engine mount with the corect spacing for the engine used then with the cowl fitted slide the engine in and out till it looks right and the prop clears everything. then put just a touch of CA glue on the mounts to hold the engine in the correct position while you drill the mounts for the bolts. This meathod works best even if you change the nose to be more scale like. My motor is mounted upright, with a lot of other mods for cooling.

I am starting work on drawings of all the required mods to correct the fuse profile with measurements taken from the real SE5a in Canberra I will post them here when done but do not hold your breath guys.


Keep on building!
