Now that 54R's what I call impressively controlable!

I've got a 53GR, but whilst the reverser's quite effective as a speed control it's only a single cylinder so won't 'tick over' like the twin does!

Very nice indeed.   Very Happy  Very Happy  Very Happy

The 53 was bought some time around April.

The 54 was on ebay in July and I am very happy with the price:

compared to the last one! Shocked

the 54r
I like it I want it  I will pm you my address  please send asap  Laughing  Laughing  Laughing
failing that some detail drawings maybe more acceptable to you if possible
as that looks like something I would like to copy
but all in all a very appealing engine  and it runs very nicely
thank you for the video

By the way Nick, what burner(s) were you using under the 54 in the video?
