I am just about to embark on a project for the new year - building an Oriental.

I have the plans and I will scratch build. Although the designer (Dee Rice) recommended a Fox .35, I plan to use an OS Max-H .40 with a rich mixture and a 11-6 prop to slow it down a little. Any comments on this would be appreciated.

This is my first plane with an inverted engine and I have never started an engine 'inverted'. Will it start inverted?

TIA
