As always Tom, thanks for your help here. I just can't decide to mount this motor or not.
I sure would like to fly it, I picked up two Stearman 1/5 scale test beds over the winter for my smaller radials. I have flown the Sirius FR 30O and the Saito five cylinder so far. What fun. They both had loads of power on these #15-18 pound auw biplanes.
I want to get all of them up this summer if possible.
