RE: ESM FW D-9
Ticketec,
Something you may have already thought about...Shorter plugs (maybe not available), different boot or grinding off some of the insulation, recessing the engine, heating the cowl and bending all the flaps outward somewhat.
You are correct. A small blister is better than having the whole cylinder sticking out...and you have the smoother operation of a twin along with a little extra weight. Das ist ja fantastisch...
I had some paint made up by Sherwin Williams, latex ex. to match the colors on my CMP 109. They're everything except perfect, i.e. others couldn't tell the original from my touch up. I've sprayed the touch up with TF fuel proof coating and expect the best.
I'm trying to get a price on a scale 1/5 Fw 190 D9 spinner with backplate and will update as info becomes available.
We who have the ARF really appreciate the work you and Ram are doing.
