78-lt, if there is right thrust built into the firewall, offsetting the engine to the right (as you look from in front) will allow the crankshaft to be in the center of the nose. I'm not familiar with your plane but this is pretty much standard practice for ARFs.

No pun intended. Just to affirm Vinnie's reply...my Great Planes Spacewalker ARF has a lot of right thrust built in. The mount holes were also off center to compensate......lownslo

hi
thanks i guess i'll use the mounting holes where they are seemed odd that they would make a mistake like that ,the kit looks excellent and built well this is my first low wing plane so i was just being cautious.
thanks 78-lt
