Hi Ron,

I put an OS 61 FX in my Cutlass Supreme. The Cutlass has a short nose as is typical of the late 60-early 70's timeframe so I moved the firewall back 3/8 in. This meant that I also reduced the volume for the tank which is a 12 oz size whereas a 16 oz would be more normal today. But everything fit, so what the heck. The FX is a bit heavier than the older engines, so I may have to move the battery and/or radio gear a bit to get it to balance. It looks like the overall weight will be about 6.5 pounds. The FX should put out more power than the ENYA III I used many years ago, so perhaps some throttle management will be needed which would make the flight duration longer. Or I may just firewall it anyway! Life is short - fly fast!
