So, the aluminium stand off and one of the spacer washer fits as they designed. I wanted to put the engine on a test stand prior to installing. Not sure, may just install. I have to admit it does look intimidating with the prop on.
Looks awesome! would be cool to find out how big the difference is depending on power output from your prop to Ramoser Varioprop. the varioprop blades looks much more scale ...but the performance, i dont know.
