I am building a Funtana 50 Diamond brand (not hanger 9) there was no instructions with it so not a great problem.
I looked at the hanger 9 50 and 90 funtana to get an idea and then make do. Looks more like the same as the funtana 90 build then 50.
I mounted the motor side ways as the head will sit inside the cowl and have bought a pitts for my AX55 so will only have a hole in the bottom of the cowl.

I lined the motor up with the cross markings on the fire wall. and the engine mounts are at the top of the box section.
The cowl is not the straightest and has to be worked on to the fuse.

Problem. When the cowl is on and spinner on the motor you can not get the front end of the cowl straignt in line with the spinner.
The cowl appears to be facing down slightly.
To get the cowl straight and spinner lined up straight the motor would have to be moved up about 5mm
As I am at the top this can't happen unless I build up on top of the mount to be able to move the motor up.

This is the question. Will this affect the whole plane set up if the center line of the motor is moved up.

I have tried mounting the motor inverted and still have the same problem.

Or should I just bodge the cowl to fit.


Thanks for your thoughts
