RE: RCV Engines
Everyone,
Just to let you know I recieved my two RCV 90SP engines yesterday. Everything looks good. I see there is a backplate to put on the inside of the firewall. They do not recommend mounting the engines with wood screws or self tappers. I guess blind nuts might be ok, but with the backplate on there and I would try for locking nuts on the inside. All the information I have been reading points to breaking the engines in properly and you wind up with an easy starting, good running engine. One thing for sure, I have plenty of room inside the cowls of the VQ P-61. Its like set the engine inside the cowl and "woller it around a bit." There should be plently of room to do some ducting of air if that becomes necessary. Now I can at least start to look at putting the "Black Widow" together. Still need to get the landing gear decided on. Guys, this is fun!
Take care all,
Bob
