I have one of the AT-6 RC planes that was made by Great Planes.  Love that bird.

it's r/c...but friggin awsome

[MiloMorai]

Made my hair stand up    I wonder if there's anyone out there who made a scaled but exact replica of their scaled warbird's engine...  I remember one guy who did it with polished brass and chrome parts, but a flying one would be pretty cool.  The guy that replicated an LM Ferrari prototype had it sounding almost perfectly like the real one.  I saw it in person and it sounded awesome with the echo from the hangar the exposition was in.

He should get a starter motor like they've got on GP bikes, instead of taking forever trying to hand start it like that.
Great sound   Way better than the usual lawnmower micro-thumper..

There are electric starters for model a/c. Messes up the spinner tho.

Why does the Ta152 have cowl guns and no wing cannons?

[moot]

It shouldn't.. Only the 152C had cowl guns, and that model had wingroot + engine guns too.  That one in the picture's got an H's wings but what sort of look like cowl guns. I'm pretty sure 151/20s would be further forward, though.. that looks way too short, too close to the canopy to fit where a pair of 20mm or 13mm would be.
Maybe he needed vents in that spot and decided to make them look like guns..

That's awesome   I can't find any videos of it, though.

Here you go moot, a 1/5 scale Merlin running.

Take a look at the whole site, some interesting models, even a RR Eagle 22.

ya know if youve just got the cash 

[moot]

Thanks   Pretty expensive, but the detailing's good..

The problem with scale like multicylinder 4-stroke engines in the RC-scale planes is that these engines tend to be rather heavy and underpowered if compared to the normal RC-engines (1-2 cylinder 2- or 4-strokes), in addition these are expensive and fragile.

Got that right, and when your flying with one, you always get the feeling if you crash one.... I think they cost about 3000 or more.
