Interesting.

Don't have any advice as I have never done this.

Any pics and who built the engine?

So, I bought the engine from defined autoworks because their costumer reviews were pretty good

^ Solid choice. Logan is very good. The advice is good luck and post up your progress. You may want to read the Mosterbox 4-rotor conversion thread and view his videos, as he's gone thru the process. I am just a simple 3-rotor guy.

I can't tell if this is a joke or real.

Usually one would have built a plan before dropping coin on a 4 rotor block.

Me too. Never a bad thing to have another 4 rotor to see videos of.

That's not a picture of OP's engine. I can link to the defined autoworks website photo too... https://www.definedautoworks.com/ima...4-rotor/r5.jpg

Who drops $30k-$40k on an engine they are installing "this weekend" and posts an advice thread one day before said weekend? Best of luck if that really is the case... I guess stranger things have happened.

^ No one. That is why this would be so cool. FYI - I believe in Bigfoot, and weekend 4-rotor installs!

This thread has some great pointers! Hopefully it will be helpful this weekend when I install my 6 rotor.
