I think it's a 1/4 scale engine, but the aircraft it's in is just a WW1'eske non scale test frame, they are very powerful for the size it would seem...

I was fortunate to see that plane  when I was down in Florida in Oct. for the Monsterplanes event.
Beautiful craftsmanship and that motor........a work of art.

Did you see it fly Mogman? If so do you know of any 'oddities' with the handling are encountered induced by the engines centrifugal force?

Mr. Mudflap, no, he didn't fly it. He said it had not yet flown and  that a major flying event was not the place to do the maiden. There was a crowd of people around it for the three days I was there.

Cheers, Dave.
