Amazing that engines scaled down that accurately can actually run, with all the tiny gears and rockers and all. So many little parts to break.
I wonder if that 1/5 scale merlin in the video can generate enough HP to propel a 1/5 scale Mustang....and if those motors are too expensive to even consider trying it in an RC (heh heh).
They certainly are beautiful. Especially the Eagle 22. The Ghost runs too eh?
HOLLY ... did you check out their website with all the photos? That plane is amazing. I wonder what they are going to power it with though.... with that much attention to detail on everything else I woudn't be surprised if a scale engine went on it.
Quote: "der Antrieb bereitet allerdings noch etwas Kopfschmerzen:
wenn irgend möglich soll ein ca. 150er-Zweizylinder-Reihenmotor
in einer äußerlichen Attrappe des DB605 "versteckt" werden,
aber für desen Propeller wird dann auf jeden Fall ein Getriebe nötig..."
That means: They still have some headaches regarding the engine.
If possible, they intend to use a 2 cylinder in-line engine, hidden in
a hull with the shape and outer appearance of a DB 605. So they´ll
need a reduction gearing for sure.
Anyway - an impressing project. The only thing that makes me feel a
little strange is, that people who can do THAT work, also could use their
time and money to build a real plane to fly in. But if they are happy with
a model, it´s fine for me too.

Jan-
I'm with you, I expressed the same sentiment on a different thread. I personally don't get it. If not a real airplane, then help restore one of the many projects gathering dust in museum basements.
I just left it with "different strokes...."
Well, Paul, here are a few more for you to wonder about. I'am the proud new owner of THIS PLANE and am seriously looking at getting THIS ONE TOO sometime in the near future.
