I'm not trying to accomplish anything by changing it, so i guess i can just leave it sideways. It just seemed pointless for it to be on it's side except for maybe keeping exaust off the plane? And in response to CG, I have read that this plane tends to be nose heavy and that one way to solve this is to use a lighter engine mount. the provide mount also uses clamps to hold the engine down, which doesn't appear as durable as bolting it directly to the mount.
