Clerget 9-cyl 130 hp Rotary Engine 1/16 scale & Sabreshaped prop
This is a 1/16 scale paper model of the Clerget 9-cylinder rotary engine, as used in e.g. the Sopwith Camel and several other well-known WWI aircraft. The engine model is based on a previous 7-cylinder version by Richard Schulten, and 3D-renderings by Mark W. Miller. An excellent such three-view rendering is included in the kit. The kit includes a model for the simplified laminated propeller. The prop design has been built successfully by several builders. who generally praise its simplicity and reliable outcome. The engine model is to be regarded as a beta-version, although it should present no problems since it, too, is based on a well-proven design. Testbuilds are encouraged!
