At last I was able to test the engine in my old FW190.

Wow.. very nice engine set up. Which Mick Reeves reduction gear did you use? And do you have a picture of your set up with the cowl off?

Thank you.

TA152

Hi Bob

I used the ZG62 gear,

TA thank you.. I have a laser 300 and 200. What you did is something worth remembering!

most impressive, how the heck do you cool the laser??

TA152

With small holes in the front of the cowling and channels to the cylinders.

Thank you. Im guessing that the engine portion was machined for the belt..

At 8:57 you can see a duct. A yellow arrow points at it in this picture;

What prop are you using now at what rpm?

Very interesting setup.

TA152

Menz 3 blade 24 x 12. Idle is 400 rpm. Max is 4200 rpm on the prop.

Thanks TA152. That is quite a large prop! 3-blade even wow!

TA152

Yes, it looks more scale with a big prop. A 25" would have the right scale dia

I would say very much so! Do you have enough forward speed using 12" pitch at 4200rpm?

TA152

If you look at the video, I will say so
