Jason,

I haven't seen any of Wide Canyon's engine in a long time. As an engine that could really fly a plane...well this wouldn't be the engine for that job. Just the weight of the thing is crazy. But don't forget that alot of people have very large engine collections and I am sure that is what Wide Canyon's market is. Once you take the time that it takes to make something like that engine the price tag really is not bad at all.

LAter,
Tim

"New working engine runs on the top cylinder only, the other 4 cylinders are for looks only"
Whats the point of only having one cylinder functional? Its like having almost the weight of five engines but only the power of one

It'd work good on planes that have really short nose moments. I guess if you have to add weight, make it PRETTY weight!
