Re: Increasing hp on a featherweight?

Here's an idea - 102 on a 40+ drive shaft and gearbox, hand made tapered exhaust, running a C100 5 blade prop.[attachment=0]DSCF8784.JPG[/attachment][attachment=0]DSCF8784.JPG[/attachment]

Re: Macabre

Have I sold it ? No such luck ! I cleaned it up a bit, put it together, gave it a test run (to prove it runs) but no sale.

Might try again .... or might not !
