Re: 1/3rd scale Pitts
I would say 12mm would be great,, that would be about 7/16's of firewall, I think that would be a plenty,

Re: 1/3rd scale Pitts
Yeah, 12mm is more than adequate. My Byron Pitts firewall is 3mm with a tapered doubler for the Byro-mount. I scratch built a 1/3 scale S2A and put a 3W 75 in it on 12mm without any problems.
