 1.20 Twin Engine Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The engine was very well made and performed fine, but this was an era of strictly free-flight and there just wasn’t much need for an engine this large except for a few special applications such as modelers experimenting with radio controlled aircraft.

Mufflers are not included with the engine but both conventional expansion chamber mufflers and special tuned mufflers are available as optional accessories as are header pipes for both side and rear exhaust configuration.
