Decided I'd have a go at a biplane...with a 27 cylinder radial...!!

And here's the pilot, whom I felt needed a shoulder holster and a Browning automatic...

Of course, here's that engine...

More pics and backstory to follow!

I'm liking where you're going with this.
-
Quick update, new u/c is on, new upper wing attachment checks out ok, and the engine and prop are all together.

An up-engined Camel! What a brilliant concept!
I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this one!

Quick update - decided the tail was much too small, and that I should really fit the engine, and loads of other little additions...

I'm really liking what you are doing with this one. Hurry up and finish it !!! I do have a question. Why did you use the kit engine in addition to the twin radials ? Unless you are covering the whole thing,of course. Also in the pictures the prop blades look too long ,to me. I would drop a few mm from the tips,if that is the case.

Hi there !
I just wanted to make a huge great triple row engine that was almost stupidly overpowered! - and I do see what you are getting at with the prop, but I already took some off! I may take a little more off....hmm....
...
...
And I am hurrying!!
-
I have to ask - Radial or Rotary engine?
-
Heh...27 cylinder radial...
-
WOW !!! 27cylinder triple row radial !!! Might need an enclosed cockpit or some really thick goggles to fly that bad boy !!! Just sayin ......
-
Ah, but this plane is from a time when men were men.....
...
...and goggles were like milk bottle bottoms... ;D ;D
I did think about a hood for this plane, but nothing I have will fit! I may devise some sort of helmet now that you've mentioned it...

Bah!!! Tell the pilot to toughen up and to be grateful there is no castor oil... ;)

Castor Oil....what you might call 'real seat of the pants flying', eh??!! :o :o
-
Wow! Powerful! :)
-
I just love the big, pointy spinner! Nice addition!

Why thank you! I'm pushing this one along Polikarpov lines...I'm sure you know what I mean!
-
And here we are all done!

Now that's just fantastic! I think my favorite part is the wonderful curved interplane struts.
They add a sculptural element that takes this from model airplane to art in my view.
Most well done!
