Have you some drawing of the CARF cowl in order to check if the engine can fit inside ?I think it is a very small engine but i think it has the drive shaft a little bit short... here is a picture of the engine. Thanks. Nicola
I don't have any drawings of the cowl. It's basically a rounded flat shape on top, but it tapers up and in at the nose. The engine above would require a large hole on the bottom of the cowl for the front cylinder.
But why not buy a scale plastic model of this airplane and then measure the cowl, multiply it by the scale factor from the plastic model to the Carf kit (23%) and the4n you will see if you would be happy with the size of the hole in the bottom of the cowl.
