normally they try to lay out the crank throw so the rod and the weights motion "draughts" the fuel in and then pumps it around the crank case.

Major disadvantage- if the fuselage stops suddenly, the rear engine can get mixed up with the passengers. This is not a good look...

When I was living in Mendi (runway elevation 5,000, typical temperatures around 30C) in PNG, a Cessna 336 pushmepullyu had a rear engine failure during takeoff, which the pilot apparently failed to realise (soon enough, anyway). After 5,000ft of runway, it failed to become airborne, and went into the 2m high grass off the end of the runway, coming to a stop with minimum damage.

old school, bronze, and looking at the size of the pool and the heat in the pipe, it was done with Gas. good skills. i exspect that the components were tinned first before being brought togeather and glued

I'd say TIG too, you get a much smoother fillet with oxy/acetylene.

ill stick with oxy/acetylene, to much heat in the pipe and the fillets are wide, smoother fillets are an option but the hight of the pools gives it away hard to get the hight with a tig. which is the advantage of tig as well as a lesser HAZ

could be wrong, looks good though
