Hey Folks,
Sounds like most folks mount their redrive upward. Does anyone have a redrive mounted down? If your prop is the same position relative to the boom tube, are there pros and cons, other that engine height in the airstream? I tried an archive search but could pull up anything.
Thanks as always,

Priority number one is getting the lowest trust line. Engine height for cooling is a consideration with a air cooled engine but most cooling problems are with ground operations and that goes away when airborne.

Nick C/Gang:
I find the lower the engine and prop the better the performance. I have my 912ULS as low as it will go with about 1/4" clearance between the lowest point of the crankcase, the banjo fitting for the oil return line, can run a 72" prop and still have 3/4" clearance between prop tip and tail boom.
