| During the installation Mr
Walker quotes 'I couldn't be more pleased with the ease the engine installed into the cowl
and dummy radial engine' He has installed an on board glow
power so the number of penetrations in the cowl is minimised. In addition a split
exhaust allows a more scale appearance. |

The engine has now been flown
and Mr Walker commented 'An expert flier friend took it up for its trial runs and it was more than I hoped for. The engine performed flawlessly!! The on board glow was just added insurance. Fantastic engine, flew first on a 18x8* Master Airscrew Prop, then tried more RPM;s with a 16x8*. The plane came in a little overweight, however it lifted off and flew realistically at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. Great Sound! *RCV do not recommend these prop sizes, therefore Mr Walker will be trying an APC 15.5x12 4-bladed propeller in the future. |
