Re: PBY Catalina
All the way in Denmark, eh?
I picked up a couple of 4 stroke OS engines, FS-48. Neat thing is that they run in different directions.
For those unfamiliar, having counter-rotating engines eliminates the torque effect that tips the plane to one side (most people just work around the limitation).
My next step here, after testing these engines out, is to build my prototype wing spar (the boom that runs the length of the wing), to see if my carbon fiber and fiberglass assembly is going to be strong enough, for its weight.
