Great Planes Ultimate
I'm thinking of buying the 1.60 size great planes ultimate biplane. I would like to use an O.S. 300 twin in this plane. Has anyone used this combo? Also, if anyone can tell me if the engine fits in the cowl without any cylinder head cutouts being necessary. The engine would need about 9.75 inches of cowl width. Can anyone measure the width of the cowl if they have already purchased one of these airplanes. Thanks for your help. Jim

Looks like about 10.5 inches. Putting one together with a Saito 180 and there is plenty of room. It is about ready to go just need a day when the wind is not blowing 50 mph.I am very happy with the plane, just hope not to have dumb thumbs for the first flight!!!!!
