Default engine location

Hello,

I just re-kitted my four star. Beings I didn't get to the part of mounting the engine untill wee hours of the night I cut corners by not measure it close enough. Now the prop only clears the ears of the fuse by about 1/8". It will run, it doesn't hit, but will the engine being further back affect anything as far as the flight characteristics, aside from the CG?

As long as you get the CG right you're fine!

Just make sure you have the correct amount of engine thrust angle per the plans.
