Default RE: Nosen P51 with 3 cylinder inline engine


ORIGINAL: jonkoppisch

I thought he was out of NC. Just looking for general info, some pics or video of the plane. I have a friend thats putting an inline twin in a compy P51 and when i tell him about the 3 cylinder inline he looks at me like I'm nuts. If I remember right he used to have an inline twin and then added another cylinder.
Drake did'nt add another cylinder, that engine was a Precision Eagle sold in the 90's, the company no longer exsists. The P-51 in the video is not Drake. That engine is available thru Vogelsang, about $3000, but its a fourstroke not a twostroke like Drakes. Precision Eagle produced a twin also, but were known for their most popular model, a single 4.2
