Hello,

I received a Sig 4*60 ARF (my second plane) from my wife for X-mas. I have purchased a Saito 100 4 stroke that I am having difficultly mounting. The Saito 100 will fit in the stock adjustable engine mount that came with the kit, but the throttle arm is above the fuselage. I tried changing the position of throttle arm so that it points down, but then there is interference with the stock engine mount.

It appears that I have two choices:

(1) use the stock engine mount, but move it down so that the throttle cable will pass through the firewall when the throttle arm in the up position, or

(2) use a different engine mount.

In either case I will have to remove the existing blind nuts and fill the holes. Any suggestions for doing this? Any other thoughts or alternatives?

Also, what is the recommended height of the engine (carb?) with respect to the fuel tank?

Many thanks,

Travis
