It even sounds like a Corsair The Corsair82 is designed to use the Pratt and Whittney R-985 Wasp engine. This engine is 82% the size of the Pratt and Whittney R-2800 Double Wasp engine, which is the primary reason for choosing that scale for the airframe. The advantages of the R-985 include relatively low cost, high availability of powerplants, parts and maintenance, and very high power. The R-985 is probably the most common radial available. And you can't get anything close to that kind of power for three times the price. One of the earlier 75% scale versions of the Corsair82 called for use of a Russian radial. But they have several disadvantages, especially for a replica. For one thing they turn the opposite direction from a Pratt & Whittney. Of course you can put any engine you want in your own replica, but there is nothing like the sound of a radial engine. You can hear it right here.

Just got home from New York.	Hoisting the engine out of my truck.	That is a big motor.
The test stand is almost complete.	Looks like a sled.	I hope it is built strong enough!
