<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><FONT color=#000000>I have forgotten
what the advantages are to inverted engine mounting. Like the matter of retracts
which seems to have</FONT> <FONT color=#000000>become a personal choice, I
wonder if it really matters to the flying characteristics. An engine on its side
is more tolerant of flooding, easier the plumb the exhaust, easier to
connect/disconnect the glow plug. </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I expect that it would spin & snap differently
