Re: Aircraft Recognition
Just looked it up & found that its just a plain vanilla RC engine, connected to the prop via a reduction mechanism. The boxy thing in the front is just a radiator

Re: DefExpo 2018 Chennai
thinking of posting a few wallpaper quality images with less intrusive watermarks, can someone suggest the size? I hope you are asking about the resolution. 1280 x 1024 would be ok, I guess. Not sure, if we can regulate the file size. If it's possible, then anything under 5MB per pic, would be good.
