Any comments re using this engine to power a Stunt airplane?

The Jive Combat Team cannot condone this.  Would you convert a vintage Ferrari to a pickup truck?

Any combat/high performance single bypass engine with great flow and larger crankcase volume will have the same problem on a profile plane, which is flame out when you hit down elevator.

         Have you ever looked at a combat model airplane? They seem to all have their engines mounted in a profile plan form. I have timed and watched MANY combat matches, and have never once seen any of them flame out on a down elevator input. I have used Fox .35 combat specials of balloon bust and sport models and have done the full pattern with them and have never had a flame out. I have run Fox .15,.19,.35s, OS .35s, .35FP .40FP, LA.40 and .46, McCoy .19 and .35,  all mounted in side winder fashion and have never had a flame out. Must be sumpin that you're doin' wrong.

Bob Baron used a ST G.21 .35 in his PA-8, which was published in AAM. One of the earliest examples of running a 2-2-2 with a 4" pitch prop.

But I wouldn't do it. It'd be like driving a Prius to the NATS and leaving the Bentley at home. Steve

  I assume you are equating the Bentley to the "astonishing, astounding, fabulous, fantastic" FOX .35!!

Not at all. I was merely suggesting that a Bentley would be swell transport to the NATS, which is always 2,500 miles away. It's the wheels of choice of all the big Rap Stars, you know.  Steve

I agree with Howard, but if the st is a ferrari, then the Fox .35 must be a fiat........

I think Allen Iverson of the 76ers had like ten Bentleys at one time......but he doesn't have 'em now!
