Can You use a Heli Engine in an airplane
I got a O.S. .61LXH heli engine and before I install it in a Kavan Bell Jet Ranger I wanted to use it in an airplane to try it out. Will a heli engine work in an airplane.
This is a P51 Warbird.

It is a very good idea to break in a heli engine with a prop. I suppose this is what you are asking, and yes, if you have room forthe cylinder head there's no reason not to do it that way.

No worries. Fly it. May even work better in a cowled plane as the heat has better heat dissapating properties.
