It's been a busy month but I'm getting back to the Pfalz. I made a blue foam cradle for the fuselage to sit in and then got to work on the engine box. The first photo shows the box with some of the triangle stock inside. The second photo shows the G-38 hanging off of the firewall for the purpose of getting the fore and aft location of the box determined. I wanted to get the front of the prop hub 2&3/16ths inches ahead of the face of the F1 former. The engine mount bolts weren't snugged up in the photo so the engine isn't centered in the opening in F1. As can be seen, the Pfalz has a slender pointy nose and fat engines need not apply. It's convenient that the G-38 has a rear exhaust and an engine that also had a rear intake would be even better. As it is I'm fortunate that the carb will at least be partly hidden by the scale exhaust. I may try to go with a smaller intake stack and carb spacer. Electronic ignition would probably make installation easier. Currently it looks like I will have to remove the flywheel and carb for the final installation of the engine and put them back on once the engine is in place. It would be nice if I can whip up a small canister muffler that has an exhaust pipe near the scale location.
