Quick question:
What would keep some one from using this rear exhaust in an airplane?
There is no oversized cooling fins. Is there a load bearing problem in the difference between hauling a prop versus driving a gear connected to the main rotor?
I can get a deal on one NIB but want to use it in a pattern ship. Is this a bad idea?
Thanks for the help.

I've got an MDS Heli .38 in a Zen 30 pattern plane. The heli engine is probably a nicer engine than many of the airplane engines anyway. The rear exhaust would keep most people away in airplane land, but with a bellypan or a bird like a chaos with the pipe on top, it will likely be just fine.
