Default Mounting 2 strokes upside down

Hello Members

I was excited seeing new rc planes with there engines mounted in variuos positions . Giving you options for cowls and muffler placment.
What i need help with is if i mount my new Webra Speed .40 upside down and make sure the fuel tank is in the right position. Is it
going to idel and run correct while flying.
Is there other things i need too take in acount?

Will i have to balance my plane a certain way?

The plane kit i am building is a GP Dazzler .40 - The engine is a Webra Speed 2 stroke .40 .

I would like to mount the engine upside down so there will be less mess with fuel blowing all over the newly monokoted wings and
fuselage. Also im going to build a cowl for the front to cover most the engine. I also like the way the muffler will blow strait down
and how linkages hook up.

I just dont know how well the engines will run being inverted. I am new to this RC Airplane Hobby stuff. I did fly U control with
my father many years ago and build U control airplane kits. But remote control is a whole defferent story. So if anyone
reads this post and knows about inverted engines , I would be thankfull for your advice .

Thank You taildrager67
