OS120 on 1/4 scale Sig Cub
I'm putting an OS120 on my 1/4 scale Sig Cub and it looks like the cylinder is near the top of the cowl. Does this look correct? Should I mount it inverted? Will I need an Onboard Glow Plug Starters if its inverted?

I have found that mounting four strokes inverted is OK. About the only thing you have to be careful of is that the tank is not placed too high which could cause fuel to syphon into the carb. I would suggest that you use an OS "F" type plug and you should have no problems. I have never needed an on board battery with either my OS 90 FS or my FS 26's on a twin.

Everything Chuck said and I make up my own remote glow starters using A Cermark head lock and A radio shack mono, head phone jack. Only thing I have ever had to do to invert an engine is make sure the low end is tuned correctly, just A taste on the lean side.
