Zenoah 62cc petrol (from Glen’s Models)
Torque Master speed reduction unit. (from Mick Reeves Models)

The unit has a gear ratio of 1.75.1 and allows a 28" x14 prop to be used and increasing thrust to 30lbs!! At 4500 rpm.

 

 
Engine installed and looks tiny!!
A carb bend has been added to keep engine as narrow as possible.
 It will suck air from inside the fuz.

 

Stainless Exhaust is on its way from Germany.
 Silencer will be mounted under engine with a Vertical Manifold.

 

Wings are now ready for covering.
This is top left wing showing Capping Strips
Once covered it should look like the Ribblets on a full size Tiger Moth. I hope!)

 

Working on Undercarriage.
Fuselage getting rather large!!
