Scale Mick Reeves 1/3 scale Tiger Moth

Ordered plans for the plane at the top of my next build list. First concern is lack of engine room. I was hoping for 3 cylinder room (Valach, Roto....) but maybe I can squeeze a twin in.

None the less a good size plane.

Just a review, still Long ways to go on the Cub.

Can't wait!

How much room is in that engine compartment? Would something like this work? 50cc and 9.5 inches from prop drive washer to back end.

This should be a good one.

I see potentially 11".

Roto 85 is at the top of my list.

I noticed the dollar to euro was favorable. I've been regretting not ordering this kit before inflation kicked off. However sound is paramount so back to engine decision. The Roto 85 is less than an inch bigger than the designated engine area. I don't see a problem moving the firewall back based upon research I've done. Maybe it's time to order the kit.....
