The rear induction carb is a pain to set up linkage for!! One fellow I fly with today set one up with the CRRC 26cc and that was a very good choice.
I'm starting to really like some of these engines from China, very light weight and smooth running.
To each their own on the rear carbs I guess.
I normally find that because the rear carbs hang off the back of the engine, I need to do far less butchering of the cowl.
I also normally put the throttle & choke servos in the mounting box interior, with a direct link to the throttle and chokes.

I've also had good luck with the Chinese engines ( aren't they all Chinese for that matter, except for the Japanese engines? )... but I find that the small Chinese gassers produce less power than other equivalents.
e.g. the Evolution 26GT is FAR more powerful, and smaller than my 26cc Chinese engines.
But the later sure are priced right, and they run well...
