Those dang flywheel studs! I decided they were splined in there for good, so I just ground down studs flush with the face. Then I used my bench belt sander to grind down the fins till they were flush with the face also.[X(]
I would like to see how that oil system works. The same crank pressure that goes out the side and top ports would also go out the bottom. I'm wondering if the crank pressure sucks and blows, or just blows!
I still am waiting for a plane to use mine in. If someone has put their's in a SR Batteries Eindecker, could you let me know the weight and performance? Seems like I would need the engine inverted in that one. Any problems with that? I've also been looking for a Bleriot or Morane Bullet type kit or plans. Basically I want an early scale monoplane 90-100" span, <15lbs. as I'm at 6000 feet. I would probably do the BUSA Taube 90, but the nose looks too narrow. I've even thought of stripping down a Giant Big Stik and adding antique white covering with rigging and a cockpit to make a psuedo scale plane. Any thoughts on any of these?
