Default RE: C-Arf Spitfire Build

G'day Peter,

Here are some pics of my engine install using the 3W 150 inline twin for my 1/4 scale Mustang. I know there are allot of opinions out there for the correct way to baffle especially for inline engines in relation to the rear cylinders. I haven't flown my machine yet although ground runs with both top and bottom engine cowls on are promising. At idle the front and rear cylinders using an Eagle Tree CHT probes under the spark plugs measures approx 135-140 deg F and at full power the front reads 190-200F and the rear 200-210F.
The problem I may have once flying is the pressurised air (ram air) surrounding the carbies.
