<p class="MsoNormal">yes, it looks massive from outside. But the brace is milled out and one of the &bdquo;lightweightest&ldquo; <span style=""></span>parts of the system.</p><p class="MsoNormal">And: If you install the engine into a quarterscale plane &ndash; specially<span style=""> </span>in the ME 109 or Spit you have to load <span style=""></span>plumb in the front end of the plane to get trimmed out. &ndash;</p><p class="MsoNormal">So for that you can use some &bdquo; helpful, intelligent&ldquo; metal.</p><p class="MsoNormal">On the other hand such engines dosn&rsquo;t fit in the cowling without a longer propeller hub. <span style=""></span>This offset <span style=""></span><span style=""></span>is also done by the gear.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you <span style=""></span>see <span style="">some</span> quarterscale or bigger warbirds flying <span style=""></span>&ndash; you&rsquo;ll know that a little bit more mass (with a powerful engine) the plane is more realistic &ndash; not like a paper in the wind. I see often these planes flying with a ZG 62 or DA 50 &hellip; hmm&hellip; that is <span style=""></span>probably enough <span style=""></span>for cruising around . But is that all? A warbird has<span style=""> </span>to be impressive!</p>
