I agree with Wildcat, excellent choice!

Permission? What's that? Of course, you're more than welcome to join in the build. Looking forward to this Stephane.

Great stuff Steph. No problem having two - just create a separate thread for each one please.

Vic, I had already put your work in my favorites

Here the beginning:the engine to obtain something like that (Wright R-1820-G5 Cyclone)

Some surgery before adding ignition and pushrods

The ignition is almost done but it's time to go to bed for me...

 

[Crimea_River]

That went well.
