Whirlwind Engine
Hi specnut 727
Do you mean the Southern Cross replica? I know nothing about this replica other than one was built a few years ago-is it airworthy? Is it wooden? Where is it based in Australia?
I have an Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah, Pratt and Whitney Twin row Wasp, (1830 type) parts of a Salmson, plus an in line Cirrus 80hp as fitted to the Auster JI Autocrat. In case anyone asks all are well knackered inside, so even for airtworthy parts would not be viable, but I have made them presentable looking. To me the J5 Whirlwind is still the motor I want though-it sums up the golden age of aviation, powering classics like the Bellanca and several desirable sports biplanes of the 1920's.
