My friend Dave Lewis is considering swapping his B box for an E box to get the electric start and keep his pull start the way it is. Anyone know if the E box will bolt right on without interfering with the airframe? He has his engine raised slightly in the rear to get the prop close to square with the tail boom, and to increase rear fuselage prop clearance.

Here is how it fits on the FSII, don't know if it is the same, but this may help. You can at least see the relationship between all the usual Kolb parts and the starter.

Don't know about the slingshot. On the Mark 3 you have to raise the motor or move it back. The starter hit the rear mount

Raising the rear of the engine a bit on the Slingshot is a good idea anyway because the thrust line is higher than ideal (pointed up in front) if parallel to the engine mount tube. This is not the case for most Kolbs but it is for the Slingshot.
