Can someone point me to a link or a book with a good, detailed schematic or interior drawings of a the R2800? I've got plenty of external views, but no good "unclothed"--err exposed pics.

Thanks!

Book I dont know about yet, but when i was in Pensacola at the Naval Air Museum their was a static display of one with a cut away. Truly a massive beast. I had pictures of it, but as I told you before they didnt come out.

I'll take that R2800 cutaway display and raise you a working one on a dyno, plus a cutaway Wasp Major.

I hate driven to Galveston tho.

I'll scan some stuff next time I have the scanner set up.

Here's a good book to get if you want to learn about the R-2800 and its contemporaries. It's full of cutaways, photos, and engineering drawings. You can probably find a cheaper copy through Advanced Book Exchange.
