Thanks so much for your response. I really dont know what more I can say. My time and experience building airplanes is very limited. Like I mentioned in my previous note, i purchased the airplane Several months ago, and just now am starting to take it out of it's wrapper.

I can understand what it means to be loyal to a company or individual..and it sounds like many of you are. I too purchased EVERYTHING from Wildhare...including the engine (DA50) mufflers, etc. thinking that I will have a one stop shop location. Needless to say, in my explanation of my purchase I told the owner very specifically that I need templates for mounting the engine. If it is not a no-brainer process, it is a DEALBREAKER for me. I am very conscious of my inability to build, and explained this to him clearly. I also mentioned to him that I do not want to stand the plane up (we had discussions about my purchasing the 35% sukhoi...and he mentioned that I simply have to stand the plane up to center the engine), and that I needed a template! If fact, I was going to purchase his 35% sukhoi b/c I have a 3W106 that I had purhcased a while back that's still sitting in the box. THE only reason I didnt is b/c he did not have mounting templates for the engine!

So, with that said...and with his clear explanation to me for just simply centering everything up and drilling the holes (mind you, the discussion is now not to use the stand up cowl centering method mentioned earlier)...there was never a discussion ANYWHERE about a 1/4 offset to the right! Maybe the instructions should include a link to a build thread on RCU! INCREDIBLE! I dont have the crosshairs like many of you do. I have Sukhoi #56 so Im not sure if there is an updated product after this. It sounds like there is. But, please SIR PLEASE TELL ME THAT THERE IS A 1/4 OFFSET IF YOU WANT TO ME 'LINE IT UP AND DRILL'!
