i just got my pulse in today and what to put the engine in on it side(for the oil) the mounts that it came with alomost lines up with the instaled blind nuts. its like a 1/8 inch at most can i reem the hole or should i just buy a new mount. the engine is a elolution 45
thanks

I'de plug the hole with Bamboo dowel and drill a new hole. Bamboo is tough wood, but it sands really nice. It's also a little compressable, so if the hole is too small you can just turn the dowel and it twists itself in like a scerw.

The evolution 46 engine in the Pulse runs just fine upright. However, if you want to get the engine and muffler rotated down so they don't spoil the plane's beautiful lines, that's another story. I'm building an electric just so the motor won't stick out.

thanks for the help

I installed mine side mounted. With all the holes and blind nuts in that firewall, it's a shame they don't line up for a side mount. I used a GP adjustable mount, as it mounts "square", i.e., once you center the mount holes, it will fit right side up, sideways or inverted. I did have to make at least 3 new holes, I recall. I liked the clean look. Also, the plane seemed to fly fast, even on a 12X4 APC. Very clean aerodynamic shape. I tried to locate some pics I posted on an older thread, no luck, so far.

ok i lookin at tower hobbies at a great palne adj mount for 4.00 is this the one your talking about

That's the one. Here is a pic of the mount, still can't find pics of the plane showing the cowled installation.

that looks nice. is that a 70 mag. if so how do you like it? i was lookin at that

Its a Magnum 46XLS. I flew it with APC 11X6, 11X5 and 12X4 props. I liked the 12X4 best.
