Anybody know the cowel dimensions of this bird yet?
I don't know the cowl dimensions of the TF bird but I do have a 1/6th scale Hellcat of my own design and I can tell you that the FG90 would NOT fit in my cowl unless you were to put a shaft extension on it so that it could be moved deeper into the cowling. Would not need to be much, maybe 3/4 of an inch to one inch or so. Of course TF may have used a different 3-view than I did and came up with a different cowl! Time will tell.
