I, too, was thinking "R 2800? Can't be! Prop too small, cowl too small." I used to fly the Howard 500 with my dad, an R 2800 business twin from the 60s/70s (there's actually one beautiful, show-winning, heart-stopping example still flying), so I know the immensity of the engine, BUT I mistakenly had old and Pratt & Whitney in my mind, too! So, this is absolutely awesome, georgeous, just beyond word's ability to really describe! Good were gettin back to some wonderful, old ways!

lol invisible prop!

What a beautiful aircraft you guys did a fantastic job all that was involved should be proud
-
Apologies to hiroad! I see 2800 and my mind goes to P&W automatically. Beautiful aircraft, I'm envious!
-
@hiroad101 That would have been a great idea.

I think it looks GREAT! cowling looks perfect, and the 3 blade at around 67 inches is exactly the right prop.........amazing how people try to down grade a beautiful project, by pretending they know something, when they really don't .........

What a beautiful airplane. I love this type of aircrafts!

Sadly, it's out of sync.... I mean the video :) But otherwise, exellent quality!

Really? R2800? Prop way too small. Cowling way too short.

Isn't this, in essence a 'Murphy Mini Moose'? ;)
This looks to be a meticulous example of a lovely plane, bravo guys.

@pbwhy Yes, this was what we were shooting for. Mini Moose and the Murphy Moose, both painted in the same scheme and the intention was to hit the airshow circuit with both airplanes........ unfortunatly that didn't happen.

How about putting the R 3600 in a full sized Nieuport 16 replica? No Ultralight 3/4th sized Nieuports look right or maneuver worth a hoot.

@paullubliner If the Nieuport 16 was nose heavy with a 110hp engine, I'm sure it'll be extra nose heavy with the Rotec R3600. But I'm sure with the right calculations it can be done.
