Actually, yes I am. I actually fly models though. Here's a pic of one of mine without a cowling...

And you can see some here behind my CRX...


Actually, I should re-word that. I'm into full scale flying, but I'm more into RC stuff, not just planes though.

Hahahaha, I have one of those too, I even made my own exhaust for it. It braps like it's bridge ported.
Mine's the first generation one though, it has side intake and peripheral exhaust, like our Mazda engines. The newer ones are fully perihperal ported.
