If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

ReplyDeleteHell yeah!!! While common sense dictates switching to the more reliable R2800, nothing like the like the real thing. A good friend is active with EAA warbirds of America, ( chairman of registration at Airventure) he listened to a guy named Ellsworth Goetchel ( not sure on the spelling) who owned and flew an original FB ll Centaurus powered model. The description of doing the overhaul took most of an afternoon. Lots of moving parts. My favorite piston warbird. Muchos gracias
