Like a Wright J4. A Curtiss TS-1 or F-4C model would look correct with your engine, as would a Fokker Universal or a trimotor like the "Josephine Ford." I believe some Wacos and Travel Airs had J-4 power also. The Robins used the oddball 6 cylinder "Challenger" radial.
Absolutely fantastic. You have to admire the dedication to build something like this. Well done Dave. I should put you in touch with my father - he builds model steam locomotives! Another machine shop junky! I fly heli's!

That is Awesome, I'd never be able to put something like that together, Can't wait to see a video of it's first run.
