Roger's Hellcat
Here's the cowl as described in a prior email. The engine face represents the Pratt and Whitney R-2800-10W. A common mistake made by many model companies and published drawings is that they use the R-2800-34W, an engine from the same family, but very different in frontal profile oweing to its revised and strengthened crankcase. Is short-- the nose case is not bullet shaped like the '10W but rather has a prominent bolted flange, different (Scintilla, I believe) magnetos and prop governor.
