1/8 P&W Wasp kit, trade for Tiano radial
I have a brand new in the box Williams Brothers 1/8 scale Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine kit that I would like to trade straight across for a Frank Tiano 1/8 scale dummy radial. Below is a picture of the Wasp kit components as well as the assembled engine. I have opened up the packages to view the contents but no construction has been started. Any takers?
This is what I'm after, Tiano 1/8 scale (5 3/4" diameter) cast resin dummy radial. Not interested in any vac formed plastic radials, sorry.

RE: 1/8 P&W Wasp kit, trade for Tiano radial
Here's a couple of pics of a Tiano Radial 1/5 scale ,
I've yet to see a Aerotech radial , But like the ones from Frank Tiano. I'm presently building a 1/4 scale Williams for a friend,
I modifyed the Crankcase on the Tiano, with half of an Easter Egg. I thought of doing a build thread of the 1/4 scale williams ,
It's not too late yet .

Chad,
I've had the Frank T casting, in my opinion aerotech has a better product. Perhaps it was just the one I got dunno, but Garys was very nice compared

Chad I'd take you up on that offer in a heartbeat, except that the one I have (and won't use) is the 1/6th scale version.

Chad, sounds good. Can you share some more pics of your T6? What model is it?

It's the old Midwest kit Sean. Very nice flyer at 16 pounds with an OS 1.60FX. Pics below by good friend Joe Balabon. (Unclejoe here at RCU)

Chad, very nice! I've always liked the T-6 and have been thinking of getting one of the KMP or ESM ones as a starting point. The short nose always seems to hold me back. I like the scheme you chose along with the added details and subtle weathering. Nice job on the exhaust stains...looks great!

RE: 1/8 P&W Wasp kit, trade for Tiano radial
Thanks Sean, much appreciated. I ended up with a lot less nose weight than anticipated I am happy to say. The swept leading edge helps to increase the nose moment beyond what it appears to be. Along with the OS 1.60 I have a relatively heavy muffler (home made from steel), the Tiano radial, and about 8-10 ounces of nose weight as I recall. The battery pack is as far forward as I could get it but the remainder of the radio gear sits pretty much on or around the CG. I don't know how the KMP or ESM airplanes perform but this one flies more like a pattern ship than an old trainer!

Chad, it was nice to have Val R. introduce me to you a couple of weeks back at the SVF. I make a couple of radials smaller than the one Gary is listing on his Aerotech homepage(6.75"). PM me for the details. Just a point of clarification for everyone, all of the props and dummy engines sold by Aerotech are made by me and are Scale Specialties products not Aerotech's. With a full-time job, I try to avoid the order taking so Aerotech ends up being my number one distributor. Gary sells most of my stuff but I usually have less common items that he does not always have listed. Also, unlike Frankie's our dummy motors are cast parts pigmented, so no painting is necessary. We also cast the pushrods in a central ring, so they don't have to be individually placed as well.
Regards, Dave

Aerotech is no longer in business but you can get the Scale Specialties stuff directly from Dave these days if that is what you are after.
