The engine is a 300cc 4 cylinder two cycle, Evo from Spain. This is the same engine I have in the Dalotel pending the new engine.
For the hotrod theme, I installed the engine with carbs on top, and made the red aluminum balls (not for flying of course) then I made the top exhaust collector out of square tubing, and machined the top part to give it a bit of a valve cover look, , same with the ignition modules, just a cover for some flair lol, my brother did the cowling top with the airbrush, It was a fun project

Today spent about 5 hours in the shop working on the airplane, but barely anything to show for it, just wiring , and more wiring and more wiring, also changed the linkage between the two servos for the rudder, the rod ends where not satisfactory ,

I can imagine how much fun that project would have been to do. Kudo's to you and your bro. I think it looks totally bad ass. Just curious... having the engine flipped 180 degrees makes for some awesome exhaust too. Did it perform pretty well? I wouldn't think it would make a diff. if the carbys were up or down.
