Hello Steve, Hello every one over there... It's a very small planet, I did recognise your Lerhone or Clerget engine...so I found that i was not alone so found with radials engine ! I have also Two Seidel, but the 5 and the 7 cylinders, the 7 is the nicest of them all, (and a few twins as nobody is perfect..) and i'm planning to buy a 7 cylinder 1/6 scale from Technopower, but theyre new engine is only on test since a few days althought It's on the table for about 2 years now....anyway I they are doing theyre best for our pleasure... By the way I need your help and clever brains: I have a big problem because I was planning to built a Fokker DVIII as I'm a fan of WW1 fighters and the DVIII is a beauty and very simple to built compare to a Stearman or any other biplane. And was planning to use the technopower but it may not be available before another year or so ...again ! But now, after having heard and seen again a Saito and a Seidel because of your forum, I feel I cannot wait anymore ! So does anybody know a WW1 monoplane or parasol kit, very true to scale and preferably an arf kit or partially built which could use a radial like the 5 cylinder Seidel or the any of the 5 cylinders Saito ? Or if some one has some autocad plans so that i could use my Stepfour (CNC hotwire cutting and frasing machine) for the wood parts and a wing profile of the Fokker DVIII so that i could cut the wing from foam and then cover it with abachi or balsa which emulate the real one which that was the first cantilever monoplane with completely platted wing with multiply ? I know I'm dreaming, but who know, it could be that another dreamer had the same dream ? So gentlemen, Start your engine...and long life to the radials ! Thank you in advance, Life is beautiful, Francois
