Drat!! Spit beer all over the monitor, thanks a lot Matt... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, I guess it's true that I'm a bit of a snob because I'm working on a real race plane at present. A genuine fire breathing ... koff ... Dormoy Bathtub.

We at the Pioneer Flight Museum in Kingsbury, Texas currently have two possible mills: a VW, and the "original" 40 hp (?) Franklin that powered the reproduction when it was first built (in the 90's). Here's a picture of it as we got it (yes, that's me in it - eek).
