Hmmm. 28 000 CC of Rolls Royce V12 might be a tad excessive for a small 'bent, perhaps. Good laugh though!

I suspect that shortly after reaching the first corner, and failing to make it, it would be a 'very 'bent'...:biggrin:

Unless I fit wings...

<hmmm, thinks>

A microlight with a Merlin engine? Fantastic!

;):biggrin::biggrin:

You'd have to wear a proper old flying helmet and goggles to fly it! And hum the Dambusters' theme...

Altogether now:

Da da-da da da-da da da,....

I suspect if you put a Merlin in a microlite, as soon as you fire it up it becomes, just a Merlin engine.

On my last visit to the aviation floor of the Science Museum they didn't have a Merlin on display. I sulked.

Do they not still have the 'exploded' Spitfire?

I feel a visit to Elvington coming on this weekend... They have a couple of Merlins, still inside the planes...

I think I am in need of Tea and Cakes please. I thought I would give myself a holiday this week. I am not going away, and have not been away since last September.

The weather is abysmal, and I think I am getting very, very bored.:biggrin:

Maker of Things
I have a workshop manual for a Rolls Royce CV12 engine. It is the 26,110cc V12 engine as used in the Challenger tank and the Scammell Comander tank transporter if anyone wants to fit one in their bent. It has a dry weight of 2120kg so you might need heavier spokes in the wheels.

Big grunty diesel engines rock!
