I started to do some preliminary drawings to see if it was feasable to put the Rotec R-2800 radial engine onto a KR2S.
Unfortunately, the upper and lower cylinders protrude a little too far out of the standard line for eaily be swept into a smooth shape without extensive modifications :wail:
It was a nice thought, now I guess it's back to the auto conversions or a Corvair... :rolleyes:
