Thanks! I have to say this site has been a huge inspiration to keep pushing forward,i look forward to seeing what everybody is up to and how everyone else solvesthe issues that come up. Nobody has used this engine to my knowledge, it my modern version of a model "A"......wellsee, remember its "Experimental Aviation"The unit up front is a external bearing hub with isolator bushings between thecrank and prop, hopefully removing all of the torsional vibration as well as thrustloads. This unit also houses the starter ring..Im using a harley davidsonstarter and ring gear, spinns it over like butter.I know Jack is painting his a similar green, so i cant wait to see them both together.--------NX321LRFully AssembledTail assembly and ailerons covered and painted.Wings covered and primed, one paintedMitsubishi PoweredRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
