Update. Corvette powered Skymaster.

[Richard]

I've been quite busy finishing my engineering degree, and CNC shop, but still finding time to design the Super Skymaster III.

For those of you who don't know me. I'm the tinker(er). I own a fiberglass (experimental) Skymaster that I am fitting with highly modified LS1 V8's. 400 hp per engine, running 80 inch 3 bladed props.

So far, development has been a careful progression. Engine engineering has been detailed out over a one year testing period. At this time we have the engines where we want them.

Gear boxes and props are done. Fuselage is complete. Wings and booms are stock. Mounts, nose gear, cooling, cowls, electrical, interior are still in a “work-in-progress” stage.

It is a fixed gear, castering nose gear configuration. Siamese cooling design with only one large scoop for BOTH engines. Very streamlined.

I will be looking for input on some systems, I hope to post those questions here for your response.

two radiators, Richard, one for each engine? Or are you plumbing both engines to 1 radiator.

Two separate radiators, but siamesed together into one.
