To me they look very much the same.

It certainly is no Wright-Hispano E-2

Hi Stig,


Four cylinders per side,long exhaust pipe a la VE-7. No exhaust pipe on Nick's link. Given the air cooling is not coming from the front of the aircraft as in a VE-7 or a Spad come to that,but from the underside of the fuselage,while I can by no means say it is definitely a Wright engine,what leads you to the certainty that it cannot be a Wright engine?


Regards,


Clint

Just a feeling Clint

I admit I have not seen any TS-3 (who got the Wright-Hispano engine) but the photo of the TR-3
which also had the Wright-Hispano engine looks different.

Admittedly they could have changed the engine cowlings/spinners and so on, but I will list it as
a TS-2 until something comes up which makes me change my mind.

Cheers
Stig
