Oh well, I’m in Denver. I do have most of a complete corvair engine, a wesseman 5th bearing and a set of heads done up for flying. Been hanging on to all for about 10 years. Was hoping for a kr or maybe a dragonfly build. -Randy On Thu, Apr 25, 2024 at 3:37 PM thomas mcavoy < thomas.mca...@whi

Every year at Sun-n-Fun they run a 1918 OX-5 engine. A couple of times a day - for about a minute. Still pretty cool. Ray_pilot New Orleans On Tue, Apr 23, 2024 at 12:50 AM George via KRnet wrote: > > > Might be a Wright-Morehouse O-80. Can't be sure though. Don't think it's > a Bristol
