Can someone help. I am installing a radial engine on an aircraft that originally had a 90 hp continental. Can I install the engine centered on the firewall? From the pictures it looks to me like the continental motor was placed with the center of the propeller in line with the horizontal stabilizer, which is higher than the center of the firewall. If I mount the radial in the same location I will lose visibility over the nose. Thanks for any help.
