    Rob,

    Didn’t you once tell me that the parts of the Victor weren’t interchangable between different airframes?

    Cheers

    Cees

    i think the same went for the vulcans no? were’nt they all bespoke aircraft, which contributed to them all having slightly different flying characteristics…

    cee’s you’re right, ive read that on this forum before too 🙂

    well i think the idea is, that the chap who sells castings (as i linked above) intends his engines to be flown as they’re not MASSIVELY detailed but still look the part.

    barry hares’ engine is really, a unique engine, so personally, no i wouldnt risk flying that, but i would one of the afformentioned engines, all personal opinion at the end of the day, (and money 😉 )

    origingally, wasnt the avia S.199 the same as one of the late model 109’s witha DB engine? the parts being put together from factories abandoned by the germans towards the end of the war.

    then after a fire or something, destroying the remaining stock of DB engines, they chose the jumo 211 , the result being in a ridiculous aircraft to fly with huge amounts torque from the jumo engine and prop…

    i think thats about right

    so 4x 1/4 scale merlins on a 1/4 scale lancaster?……

    anyone see where im going? 😀

    they guys on my course at uni are well up for building a 1/4 scale vulcan, but def dont think that any of the current microturbines are up to the job…

    i really cant wait to see barry hare’s eagle 22 fired up, would be magnificent!

    i wonder what sort of power output these engines would make? a scaled down power?
