Newguy, Heres what I did with my Sig Rascal ARF. Just take a piece of lightply and epoxy it to the existing mount then use a 10mmx10mm piece of hard wood to mount your OR to a stick mount. Just be sure to get the thrust angle right. Heres a link to Horizon this should work. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=EFLM1915 Here are some pics as well. Not the prettiest but it works plus your sportster has a cowl to cover it up.

This may not be a problem but thought I would brimg it up. How is the clearence on the cowl if you use an OR its gonna have to be pretty close to the cowl. I had this problem with my caps. Needless to say the cowl is no ruined. Just a word of caution.
