Default Roo engine conversion

I have a very nice ready to fly Roo that I bought from one of the guys. Has Robart HD gear, struts, brakes, servos, etc. problem is it has the conversion to lower the engine mount for the 500 class engine. I have Jetcats. Any idea how to change it back, or should I strip all the goodies and sell the airframe, or sell as it is and buy new stuff? Thanks [email protected]

I'm not familiar with the conversion, and I know there are folks out there that have flown 500 class engines on them on the stock mount. Do you have a picture that shows the mod?

The old engine mount "hump" is removed, and a new recessed mount is fabricated. The 500 is quite a bit smaller, so the P-80 won't drop in. Bob
