During the pre- and early war years there was a Renault V-8 air cooled engine special for the pusher aeroplanes.
Normally the V-8 was used for tractor aeroplanes and had enough cooling, but the pusher lost cooling because the pilot was seating in the front and the propeller was in the back. Special for this purpose they changed it with a cooling fan.
I found the information that this version could have a starter handle so the pilot could start it without any help.
Who can help me with drawing pictures of this version with the starter handle, so I can get a good impression how the handle was fixed.
Thanks
