Excellent point. I sometimes find myself trying to pick the flyspecks out of pepper, when time would be better spent practicing. As John Ferrell said elsewhere about his flying skills, my skill level also is not such as to see any difference in my side mounted Moki and my inverted Y.S. engines in my rather limited flight regime of Intermediate. The Moki (1.8) is in a Midwest CAP 232 and I also have a R.C America CAP with a Moki 2.1 in it. Neither have any bad tendencies I can attribute to the sideways engine placement.<br>

<br><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial">You should also consider that the engine has its cylinder on the right hand side of the plane. With 3.5 degrees of side thrust the bulk of the crankshaft (The heaviest part) is displaced to the left of center if the spinner is centered. Balance an engine sometime on its side and you will see that the CG of the engine is not on its thrust line.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial">Now al all of the above poses a new question, if you care, of how much of a problem we are creating by offsetting and inverted engine 3/4" at the back of the engine--- Hmmmm.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial">Also the mass of the mass of the engine has always helped in level flight, when side mounted as it weight is opposite to the counter-rotation caused by the prop.</font>
