Congratulations on your milestone! R2600 or R2800?

Hopefully I'll be hanging the engine on my T-6 in a month or two as well. Still need 4 good cylinders though.


Brandon,

R-2600. No need to tell anybody how big that engine is physically and yet it looks tiny against that great big airframe. Nice work Mike...and thanks for all the help you're giving the WOTN boys getting the F-86 to their show not to mention all the help you're giving them on the BT project. When do you sleep?

John

Mike, I was impressed when I saw the work you had been doing on the Helldivers, back in August 2003 when I visited you, with Dick Phillips.

The airplane looks simply awesome!

Saludos,


Tulio

Thank you, Mike.

I am probably one day's driving distance from Anoka, and upon completing this assignment, if there is nothing else coming up workwise, I'll try to go and see the Helldiver.

Saludos,


Tulio

Let me know if you do head up our way Tulio, and I'll meet you over at Mike's with some PT parts for your restoration project. (Saves shipping costs.....)

:wink:

Steve:

The idea of visiting Mike, just came up to me a while back; I don't know what my schedule will be like in a month or so, but if I can manage it, I will for sure let you know; heck, I might even go to Rice Lake and pick the parts myself! : )n

If not, then UPS or USPS will have to do.

Saludos,


Tulio
