richard,what dummy engine are you using and scale,i have a topflight 1/8 for mine.also what spinner are you using.

Fred, I am not using any dummy radial engine. I also have a Top Flite 1/8 scale dummy, but it's too big in diameter and won't fit without trimming away the valve covers. The dummy radial engine for the Kyosho Corsair is slightly smaller and will fit better, but it still requires some cutting. The dummy engine you see above is just a picture of the real Pratt & Whitney R2800 printed out on decal paper and pasted on 3/32" ply. That's why I said it's "cheap and cheesy". Spinner is Tru-Turn 1-1/4" prop hub.
