Hi Guys...

I'm after a bit of info from those of you who have experience with the Phoenix Models Sukhoi or more specifically the location of the engine in relation to the markings on the firewall.

I acquired the Sukhoi second hand without a manual or contact with the builder so I cannot question him on the setup.

If you refer to the photo attached you can see that the engine's center line is a long way, in my opinion, from the vertical center line of the fire wall.

Is there a reason for this? Should I correct it?

Interestingly the markings on the fire wall do not appear to be on center either, nor the hole for fuel lines etc... So perhap's the engine is not meant to be on center? (Non of my previous models have though).

The fire wall has right thrust built into it and the builder has added a little more with a spacer which you can see in the photo.

At the end of the day if the airplane flys OK I don't care that it looks a little odd but I don't want to fly it before knowing if it's setup right.

Thanks for the advice in advance!

Matt
