Need a scale wright cyclone engine...
 

I am building a Don Smith constellation for someone. The plane is not going to fly :( but will hang in his house.
I need some 1/11th scale engines for it. does anyone know of where I might get them?

I am debating whether doing a build thread or not, as this plane will not be built to flying specs, any thoughts?

I got some real nice cast 1/9th scale engines from Frank Tiano's web site. He might have them at that scale or close. You could probably get away with a 1/10th. Didn't the Connie's have the double row 18 cyl radials in them? I just checked and the smallest he sells is 1/8th... Sorry. He might know of someone else that does have them at the size you need though.

You da man. That looks like it will work, I just have to measure the cowls, and compare it to what is actually scale. If it's within a 1/4 inch, I think I will be using them. The constellation has a double cowl, and you don't see much through it anyway. Plus it will be hanging 15ft in the air for display only.
