RE: Engine mounting question <-----<<
Muffler extension sounds like the way to go. I have some Alum stock so i will get to making one up. The reason I considered making a plate to alter the thrust angle was that I believe the angle is to agressive. I haft to use all the trim to make it fly straight. I have places washers behind the left 2 mounting bolts to bring it out half way. This works fine and gives me some more trim to play with when needed.
Thanks for the help!
