Hello I am new to gas engines can any one lead me to a template for mounting the DA 50,thanks

Normally what I did was putting all 4 stand-off to the engine and then place the stand-off with engine on the transparency A4 size, using marking color to draw the line of those 4 stand off and make the center line in vertical and horizontal direction. Use transparency as a template on the mounting box of the airplane. Don't forget to have the right thrust so the actual veritcal line must be offset for 5 mm approx.

Call Scott Sorensen at DawghouseRC in Brownsburg. He can help you. www.dawghouserc.com 317-446-8161

I do like Tom at Wild Hare recomends, I stand the plane on its tail (befor mounting the rudder) tape it to your bench so it won't fall over.
Set the engin on the motor box mount the cowl on the plane (you may have to rough cut the the hole for the motor head to stick out) and center the spinner back plate so it lines up with the cow.
Then carefully remove everything so you don't move the engen, then take a sharp pencil and mark around the standoffs. mark the center of each hole and drill.
Thats the way I do it.
