Question: I have a VMAR VMA-P240X (Texan II, Harvard II & PC9) 45-60ARF. I'd like to mount my .46-52 size engine upright and use the regular factory muffler. Will this work?
Answer: Yes, depending on the size and shape of your engine it should work well. . It will not look as "scale like" as a 90 degree or semi-inverted installation but it will be easier to install and easier to operate.
Please see the attached PDF drawings of a typical upright engine mounted to the removeable power module firewall and of the typical cowl cutouts that go with this engine orientation. These depictions relate to a typical two stroke engine for this model. You will need to adjust the cowl cutouts for your particular engine. Note that we strongly recommend proceeding in small incremental steps when cutting cowls to fit around an engine and muffler. Don't overdo it. Go slowly in small steps and test fit frequently.
