Default engine placement

Quick question:

If I mount a Saito .72 inverted in a Sig Kadet ARF ( The BIG one ), the carb. will be +/- 1 inch below tank centerline.. Will this be a problem?? (other than siphoning)?? I plan to use onboard glow driver.

Thanks!!

Default RE: engine placement

Hi!
It will be a problem!
Why not mount the engine on its side?
This is the metod I prefere....
See picture of my GP GEE BEE R-2 below.
