Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

Well, things are going to happen in rapid succession now... I'm going to do a final database backup at 2:30PM CST today. After the vBulletin team gets it - the new site should be operational "with all posts" soon thereafter. Then following a series of checks, and if all goes well, I'll post a link to the new forums here soon.

Thanks for your patience,

The Admins

      How about the Fisher(GM) XP75 with the Allison 24 cylinder V-3420-19 coupled engine with contra-rotating props.

        You guys laugh at the R-8720 now. However, once it's installed in Air Biscuit and flown to it's full potential, no one will be laughing...

          Veering OT, but there is this thing:

          Power plant is a Zvezda Russian(?) 42-cylinder marine diesel. This one has been converted to gas. Maybe someone here knows more about it and can explain further.
