Re: Revolver to 20cc gas - engine Installation
Reply #4 - Apr 10^th, 2012 at 12:58pm

My RCG 20cc engine is very slightly wider than the DLE20cc
I know from internet pictures that the Great Planes 120 size mount fits better than the stock mount that comes with the engine but the Great planes mount requires some hacksaw surgery and the glass filled mount does not power sand well -it melts
So I cut up a $10 120 size engine mount to see if it would fit.
We shall see in the future
I have my eye on a Dubro http://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=DUB688 engine mount. But I do not have dimensions at the firewall

The thrust line is a concern. I may have to go 1/4 inch above the stock position with the engine

I'm sure once you see the demo it will be clear on how to balance prop tips, hub (centre section) and, spinner. Can be tedious but well worth the effort.
