RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly Thread
I read a review of this engine I believe by Clarence Lee in RCM mag.
He had nothing but positive comments.
It does take a long breakin.
It Has great torque.
Posted 5HP @ approx 10,000 RPM in the test, running at 8000 to 8800 RPM got 4.5 to 4.75 HP
Could swing a big prop.
This engine is used by many @ scale competition .
I purchased one for the TF Giant scale KIT and expect it to perform like a G-62 (less weight).
My fitting has it close to mounting in the cowl without chopping it up. The G-62 requires a lot of cutting.
I did plan on using my DA-50, but after inspection I believe I can fit the Moki 2.10 in the cowl with less cutting. So I still believe I'll try the Moki. (This winters project to "finish" ... it is built and needs covering or paint)
I will be using the circular back plate for mounting and a Pitts Style muffler designed for inverted operation.
The dimension of the engine are available from Moki distributors on-line. See what YOU think, and keep us all posted.
