Looks OK Sky - but i'm not using a dummy engine for the Wirraway - I now have an OS Sirius Radial to put up front. When the model was a Harvard/Texan I had an ASP 120 4 stroke up front behind a Williams Bros dummy engine. I had a bit of a problem at first with cooling but fixed it by making sure there was ample EXIT vent behind the cowl. The formula is to allow an exit volume at least 1.5 times the area of the inlet. I had to install some ducting to help keep the motor from cooking itself!

Those plastic engines don't have very much compression, though!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Don't worry Sky - these bloody imperialists wouldn't know a chicken from an egg - and they are not sophisticated enough to recognise important fauna like Kiwis or Kangaroos.
