RE: Another question on side thrust / offset engine
Hold the fuselage so the firewall is pointing straight up (or have someone hold it for you).
Place the engine on the firewall.
Put the cowl on and line it up.
Line up the engine so the prop shaft is centered in the cowl.
Carefully remove the cowl so you don't disturb the engine placement.
Mark where the engine is and you're ready to drill.
