[Fot] Plane & dragster motors: Deep thoughts

[Marx Christian tr4-racing]

The engine was made in several evolution stages.
DB 601 - 605
The capathity was from 33.9L up to 44.5L
The power from 1175 - 3500 HP.

Okay... the engine I have taken was a record flight one and lasted always one
try .... I was just bragging around ;-)
The normal planes didn't have that engine.
