It needs to be nose ring mounted via 6 bolts in the front as there are no allowances for back plate mounting.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>2. I bought the F3A Unlimited motor mount for it, but the mounting tabs are wider than the front of the airplane so it will not fit flush at the nose ring. A flush mount actually puts the tabs wider than the nose ring and into the cheek cowls.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>3. The output shaft has a short useful length with a machined flange. so using any kind of rubber spacers behind the nose ring will be a problem unless they are very short. If I was to find short rubber spacers there would still be a width problem as there is no flush surface inside the nose ring to mount them to.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>4. Probably the biggest problem of all, I have to be able to adjust the motor thrust line for down and right thrust as I do NOT believe there is any built into the front of the plane.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>If anyone has any pictures of their Pletty 30-10 Advance installation or any techniques to do it accurately and just as important LIGHT please let me know.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Plane is a Sickle V2 if that helps.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance and happy mother's day!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Anthony<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
