REFLECTOR: IO 360C1C installed in a std elite rg

[Brian Michalk]

Just a note on the mounting orientation.

The Franklin installation manual states the angle limit at which the 
engine can be mounted.  For the Franklin, I think it's 12 degrees.  When 
I hung the engine, I rotated it so that bumps on the cowl were 
minimized.  You have to remember this when making intake scoops and all 
of the other oddities that they won't be symmetric to the fuselage.

Is it worth it?  I don't know.  It really didn't add much complexity, 
but certainly was more difficult and took more hours than adding bumps 
to the cowl.

I'm sure the Lycoming has these mounting limitations stated somewhere as 
well.
