frek`n sawed off p 51 ! nice set up!

Is it fuel injection?

I see long itake pipe, is it blown also?

[annken100]

No, it is not fuel injected and it doesn't have a blower. The long intake pipes you see go from the heads to the Marvel Shebler MA3-SPA carburetor underneath the rear of the engine.

Thanks for your interest. Ken

I dont know much about the specifics of

"aeropanising" engines (is that a word?!)

why is the carb placed where it is?

something to do with icing up?

Does it have a funny double float chamber that allows carb to work upside-down.

I saw one of these once, but forgot how it functioned.

I wouldn't have confidence in an engine after building it for aeroplane use!

U can just pull over in a car, u have an extra dimension to deal with in a plane!!

I cant fly a plane- only one eye!

[jhb478]

Don't let one eye stop you, buddy has one eye and he's one of the best pilots I know, if you REALLY want to fly you will, if it's just a talking point you won't.

in england its illegal for me to fly a plane, drive a train or crane but I can drive a car!

I actually have 2 eyes but my left one is switched off by my brain due to a stigmatism as a child.

[jhb478]

My appologies, I didn't pick up on the fact you were in England,

[tpvalley]

so I can get an american pilots licence with my eyes as they r?

what happens if I fly home to england I wonder?

[jhb478]

good question, we have reciprocal agreements but have no clue if a U.S. license would be valid under those conditions.
