That was the one good thing about the big, ugly, long .91 Magnum, The glow plug is closer the the bottom of the cowl. I have a long glow igniter, so fuss with it to get it hooked up to start it. I considered OBG or a remote, but too lazy and didn't want anymore weight up front. You're right about the bigger hole, but it's on the bottom, so no one really sees it. The wind is whipping at close to 35. March weather is upon on us, so doesn't look like a good weekend coming up to test fly this overpowered beast.
My 35% gasser doesn't really care too much about wind, so it may get the cobwebs and hangar dust blown off of it this weekend, if it doesn't rain. Almost over the bug. I'll post a flight report as soon as I can get it out and test flown, weather permitting. My 25% SD is nearing completion also, so may test both at once.
Thanks for your patience.
Cheers,
Mike Boyd

I mounted my engine last night, inverted. Need to get a remote glow ignitor though; that's the one thing that is really irritating about inverted setups - trying to hook up that ignitor.
I'll probably get it mostly finished tomorrow night.
I mounted my Saito .56 as far out on the rails as possible, in the stock position and also have to use a remote glow setup... Then angle on the plug would require a big ugly hole in the cowl and chopping out a section of the firewall to get the igniter on the plug otherwise... That one caught me by surprise... No problem though, I had one handy...
