I have a c-160 from CMP the engines, when mounted according to the directions, do not line up with the nacells. It appears that both engines (if I were going by the alignment of the nacelles) should both respectivly have a bit of right thrust.. almost 1/4 inch. Has someone built this plane and had the same issue?

I had to work with the cowlings to get them to fit right. Took a bit of patience too but I finally got them close. If you have to reposition the holding screws a little hint, use a piece of the yellow inner nyrod (about 3/4 in. long)and epoxy these into the foam wing then screw the little hold down screws into the nyrod. Works like a charm. The spinners cover up a lot of the misalignment. If you mounted the engines as directed you'll be OK.. Its a great flying twin too, almost to easy.

Yeah the issues with the nacelles most definitely takes Patience, I wish they would have incorporated wing tanks instead of the nacelle tanks. would have made engine mounting and servo mounting lots simpler
