Engine too long

Okay,here's my problem.I am assembling a Kange Texas Hurricane ARF.I have a Airhobbies 3.2 that I am wanting to install.Problem is the engine is too long or the cowl is too short.lol.Do I cut the motor mount box back towards the fire wall or what?

RE: Engine too long

I'd suggest you call Kange and get their thoughts on this one. Chanches are you could end up with a CG problem also because of the eng. size/weight. My thoughts would be to remount the cowl but I don't know the plane. ENJOY !!! RED

RE: Engine too long

Take the muffler off the back of the A/H engine. Throw it away, or take it to the rcycler. It weighs a ton. Now make a plate, for the engine mount out of 3/16" aluminium. Get a good pitts style muffler.
