Default RE: somethin extra engine mounting



ORIGINAL: 7snakes

Not a complete beginner. I have had limited success in flying a Nexstar. I am putting the somethin extra together for a time after I can consistently fly the nexstar. Where on the mounting arms do I locate the engine? What distance from the firewall?
You want to mount the engine on the motor mounts so that the backplate of the spinner will be 1/8"-1/4" away from the front edge of the fuselage.

Hope this helps
