Default Which direction to mount the engine?
Howdy! I'm building an Eindecker 40 and I want to know which way I should mount the engine. The cowling covers about 3/4 of the nose and is naturally open on the bottom 1/4. (see [link=http://www.balsausa.com/kits/kit.htp?id=40&shopperid=]Balsa USA Eindecker 40[/link] for picture) So, do I mount the engine on it's side so the muffler comes out the bottom? But then, what about accessing the needle? Keep in mind, I'd like to keep from cutting holes in the cowling as much as possible to preserve appearances. Thanks for any suggestions!
