Default U-CAN-DO With Upright Engine ?

WHY NOT ?
For all you guys that are having trouble with inverted engines. Problem solved ! Easy starting and the engine is trouble free !
Borrowed Thunder Tiger .61( from RC Report's Ed Moorman with borrowed 14-4 prop (Ed's too!)...Flys great ! Try it, you'll like it !

Why not, why not paint a rainbow on it to No it don't look as bad with a two stroke upright, but i'm still not feeling it. Got any pics from farther back with the wing on? I'm sure a ys 110 would stick up allot more and look fugly[>:]

how much work did you have to do to get the fuel tank lined up with the carb?

How 'bout these shots ? You're right, a four stoker is gonna stick out a lot more.

The carb level worked out OK. I changed nothing ! However It is about 3/8" high but doesnt seem to effect the engine performance. I did mount the engine UNDER the mount to concider the thrust line.

UGO: I am too lazy to send a pick of my YS 63 stuffed in a UCD 40. Had some trouble with fuel feed due to the tank location, even with a pumper. Soooo, mounted a tetra 14oz tank in the clear canopy. Works wo well, several of the guys have copied the installation and lovt it. Why, if you want to know how much fuel you have left, just do a close fly by or hover and you can see how much is left in the tank. Necissity is the mother of invention? ENJOY
