These are actually pictures Keleo took. I received the first RCV unit and I'm really impressed. It does indeed mount to the top of the box using brackets that are welded to the stacks. I haven't run the unit on the plane but I imagine the silcone will hold out. This is one well thought out setup! I went RCV on this plane to swing a big 3-blade (15.75X13) and to minimize cowl cutting. This is really a cool application. Here's the picks of the loose components before I mounted them. If you check the P-6e thread here in warbirds Kelvin (Keleo) uploaded the instructions in PDF.

SSeward!
Excellent RCV application!
Now I see your using silicone tubing, on the stacks! How's that working out? Does it get to hot?
Also, is the rear portion of the exhaust mounted to the engine box? I can't tell from your picture, but look like there's not much support in the front exhaust stacks.
This is the exact application that I want to do with my 90 size Spitfire! The RCV engine will let me swing a 4 bladed prop!
Anyone using a RCV SP 90 on a sixty size warbird, with this exahust! Love to see the pictures!
Thanks guys for hte pictures!
