They (radials) look much better with the cylinders exposed - pick a subject that doesn't have a cowl!
Suggest a few. I've spent the day looking thru all the plans that RC Modeler has (over 500) and the Flying Models site and am still looking. The correct sized Spirit of St Louis would be cool. I like Maxam's Robin 99 but that has been out of production for years. Could put it on a Stick plane. I need suggestions and am somewhat frustrated at this point. I want one badly but the OS FT 160 would be much more versatile and work in many more air frames. Anybody know how much thrust the 7-35 can generate?
Concept Fleet or any Stearman, if you want a kit to start with. Out of Production (OOP) kits like the Robinhood 99 or Sperry Messnger show up from time tio time (see (
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170916997027...84.m1423.l2649), perfect for a Saito 170). Ryan PT-22, Monocoupe 110, Kinner Sportster, Davis D1W or Curtiss Robin are a few if you up for building from plans. Lots of scale subjects starting with exposed cylnders then put a cowl on later, like the Gee Bee Y.
Thanks RedBall. Found this today and it looks great with the 7-70
