Hello Enaltoe,

Great looking aircraft. I will ask the question that most replica builders have foremost: What engines are being used?

Looking forward to more posts.

Regards
John

Didn't even have to read it to know this was Giancarlo. I am lovingly jealous of the work (not just him, but the list of all of you is too long!)

What a huge project! Not just size... but the hours of work! That's a beautiful replica!

They look like Chevy 292 cast iron 6-cylinders. Direct drive?
