Yes I lowered the thrust line! I positioned the engine so the head just cleared the top of the fuselage. no thrust changes were made and the plane flies great. Yes the top wing is to high, the pilot would have dad to be eight foot tall to reach the wing gun for re loading. However I have not yet completed the work on the drawings to work out the structural changes to adjust this. If you are fairly new to buildin I would build the kit prety much as is . Flip the motor over if you want to ,this causes no flight changes. Be aware that you will have to do some mods for cooling.


Have fun or its not woth the effort!
