1.480 spinechilling BHP's it reminded me of this chap who built a functioning 1:8 scale RR Merlin. Now it is not just made to look like a Merlin, it is a Merlin down to the smallest part. Take a look

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
