I'm scratch building a Fairchild 51 in Ottawa Canada. The 51 is the smaller brother to the more popular Fairchild 71's and FC2W2's. I've got a fresh Housai 285 hp engine, prop on hand and the fuselage will be about done this fall. Wings will get done over the winter. Here's the questions please...has anyone compiled a "radial engine install manual" for scratch built projects? A pneumatic schematic, simple oil system schematic (non inverted use) , basic info for carb or cabin heat systems, what elevation must the oil tank be in relation to the engine, ...that sort of stuff. I'm aware of the intake drain business and the availability of western fittings. I've got the pneumatic starter valve parts on hand. Thanks.
