RE: 1911 Caudron
That is really nice, one of my favourite early airplane types
Looks like it is maybe based on the old Henry Struck design.
Does it need the 4 cylinder engine to fly? The three cylinder would be more prototypical as it had the 3 cylinder Anzani engine.
In any respect, I bet it will be real purrty flying about with a multi cylinder engine.

RE: 1911 Caudron
That is very cool. Actually beyond cool. Did you build the airframe from scratch or plans?
The tri-cylinder would look great on the Eastbourne for which I still have yet to make room on the work bench. How much do his engines go for?

Sorry, most excellent all around Ralph! My hat's off to you. Most here are probably familier with your engines but can you tell me a bit about the aircraft? And maybe a bit about your engines as well? :-)

I built the engine as a twin then I saw a picture of the Caudron in a English magazine and rebuilt it as a X radial . I scaled the airplane to the engine size, WS 38" airframe weight less engine and radio 10-1/2 oz, covered with worldtex. I hope it fly`s slow.
