Hello Guys,

I have a question.
Most german aircraft uses inverted piston engines.
And thats the problem, they were mainly used in this time only by axis forces. Today it is very hrd to get a DB-605 and they cost around a half million. That makes it very hard to build a German WWII warbird as an private builder.

So... is it possible to turn a normal engine like Allison1710 180 degrees so you get a iverted piston engine? Does it need modifications?
