KennethExcellent; very well done👍 I'm currently building the same kit with same aftermarket engines. How did you mount them? The only way I can figure out is to remove the reduced diameter lump of resin at the rear and then pop the engine into the cowling, hoping that the remaining disc matches the inside diameter of the cowling?

Elias Korompilis autor@Kenneth: If I remember well, I had no problems with the diameter. The base required some test fit and trimming for the engine and the propeller longitudinally have the proper clearance with the cowl.
