Default RE: Engine Mount on Tower Hobbies Trainer ARF

I have the Trainer 40.....with the engine mount you mention.I replaced the screws with #8 cap screws so that I could us an allen wrench instead of all that down pressure needed with a philips screw. In my view....the engine may shift or become loose....but it can't escape the aircraft. Use a little locktite on those nuts....I don't forsee any problem with Tower's mount. One other point.....putting in a little right thrust is a breeze. Not so easy when you drill those maple mounts. I've spent hours mounting an engine with proper right thrust & down thrust and no binding of the throttle linkage. That's just part of the hobby don't you think???
