Nice. There is something about a big Warbird engine. Jets are boring, but a big piston is just pure magic.

Buy me a plane ticket and we could talk about that a little more...

-edit: Which ones of the engines look best? My favs are the DB-605 and the Merlin.

The Merlin and Griffon look good. However, my favorite there just has to be the Napier Sabre. That thing just looks indestructable!

Hey Bjorn:

What happened to the old VW air cooled out of the back of VW Beetles.

I saw them on most homebuilts in the 50s and 60s.

They are still using them

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
