Hi Mike--

: Anyone remember a 7/10's scale P-51B/C with an inverted Ra
: nger engine in it?
: What ever happened to it? Any performance numbers?

The homebuilt "B" Mustang I remember was 9/10 rather than 7/10, and I think it had one of the Ranger V12s in it! There was a Ranger inline-engined P-40 in western Canada about twelve years back, too. About 2/3 scale. RAF desert scheme. Pretty little thing, but apparently it was a bit tricky to fly.

I think the way to go, if the inverted-six Ranger is the engine of choice, is to do a Vc Trop Spit or a Trop Hurricane, using the Vokes filter as the requisite chin scoop...
