Jim, Sonny, I caught this Nanchang at Flabob Airport in Riverside, CA in 2000. Huge spinner on it, much like the Russian Lavochkin fighters of WW2. The LaGG 5 and 7 had the same baffle arrangement as shown in your pictures, but with large spinners such as this one. It probably worked quite well in north Russia, but I wonder about overheating here in Southern California. _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Nanchang+with+spinner .jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Nanchang+with+spinner.jpg.html) Best Regards, Ira Silverman Irvine, CA ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
