had to mod a smith mini engine install to a irvine 36 carb is about 1 3/4" above clunk I will be running pressure, is it to high and should I scrap idea and go inverted? Old school has it's drawbacks. Thanks Peter B, Binns Aero

The engine should run fine. Flying inverted may pose problems, but upright shouldn't be too much a bother using muffler pressure. My TT .46 ran good with the fuel tank 6" below and 4" behind the engine, but I'd never fly it inverted like that. That would most certainly cause a dead stick landing.

Thanks for the info! What do you falks do at PowerLab?

Keep in mind - YMMV. Your airframe may not behave like my test setup did.

The PowerLab thing was kind of a joke between friends. Now he moved back to Texas, so I'm just doing my own thing. I mod engines, Frankenstein parts together, etc. When I can get my hands on a lathe, I'll be able to make pistons and such.
