Hello fellow aviation enthusiasts, i have some questions of the pic i have attached.


Can anyone identify the engine that was used on this aircraft?

Why such a large prop for such a small engine? or should i ask how such a large engine is capable of swinging such a large prop?

also, if you zoom in on the cutout area at front of fuselage you'll see a cross section of fuselage structure. How was this fused? Was this just done with a cotton? string wrapped around different directions and then glued? Or is there something here i'm missing?

Seems like a really small engine for such a large overall air frame. Also check the wings out.....are these just strips of paper or fabric? they dont even appear to be seamed together???

would you fly something similar? lol
