Zenoah 20 sidewinder.

[Barry Bennett]

I want to mount a Zenoah 20cc sidewinder . Are there likely to be any problems with this as it is usual to mount petrol engines inverted.
In flight the engine may be in any attitude , but is there likely to be a starting problem. Mounting sideways allows a narrower fus. due to the mounting hole centres being 2" one way and 3"the other.
Thanks B. Bennett

No problems what so ever.......................I have a ZG45 mounted sideways in one of my current models, has been this way for 8 seasons now, never given me any bother, the 20 should be no different.

Just discovered. The back plate on the Z20 is monted on the engine with eqi-spaced holes so the back plate can be turned through 90degrees,the engine can be mounted sidewinder or inverted on a narrow hole mounting.
