I know a user named “knockoffs” on YouTube has one installed (and a build montage) but no madden video yet. I am anxious to see one as well!

Remember to plan on adjusting the alignment of the 3 cylinders to the 3 cowl screws. When installed in the regular way the bolt pattern and engine match to block access to the screws. So unless you make the cowl screws radial, on the outside of the cowl, you may consider inverting the engine or another option...
I can’t stress enough what a monumental PITA it is when you have the 60R3 installed in this plane and you need to get the cowl off.
I posted photos but no video of ours flying. You won’t be disappointed. You will need to use the tank back pressure line from the engine for more reliable performance.
