Hi all,

I have now been flying this fantastic model for the past 2 years. It is currently powered by a DLE 35 RA which is fine. However, I am considering shuffling a bit my engine and was considering to buy a DLE 40 Twin for my P47.

I did ask Horizon Hobby but their answer is that they don't install DLE engines in their kits and they sent me back to the forum to ask the question.

Would any of you have installed such a power plant in the HAN4485 kit? Is it fitting within the cowl? Is the cooling adequate?

I remember the engine being 180mm wide (cylinders horizontals) and I recon without the cowl 3D drawing it is difficult to judge because it could barely fit indeed.

Happy to have feedback from experience from other users on this one.

Cheers,

Manu
