Dave Patrick 120 Ultimate

I havae recently purchased the DP 120 Ultimate with Saito 180 for power and need any suggestions as to engine mounting. Inverted or side mounted, muffler choice, fuel, prop?
This is my first large plane and would appreciate any info! Thanks

Thanks nute! Did you use the kit engine mount or aftermarket setup? Have read some past posts about vibration with the big Saito.

I am using a standard glass filled mount, Works great, the vibration thing I think is more tuning than anything. RTF less fuel is just over 9 pounds. Its a rocket with the 180.I put a 24 oz tank in tho cuase IT IS thirsty!it will hover round half throttle. Has enuff to shoot itself out of hover too. i like the set up.:D
