Before you spend a lot of time on the Vector engine make sure it will fit. Most Vector engines are to scale whereas the kit cowling thickness probably isn't. I haven't use one yet that I didn't need to grind the tops off the cylinders to get it to fit ! Just saying !

Thanks for the heads up OD. I started playing with it and have decided not to use it. Will go with the kit engine.

Good start James . Wow, no shortage of parts on this build.

I've never had a Victor engine yet but it's not unusual to find that resin engine manufacturers make them too large for the kit cowlings.

Very nice start James, the size of the instrument panel is impressive, truly a huge kit :coolio

All the best!
