A real J-2? In Gene Smith's book "What They were Like to Fly" he said. there were less than a dozen on the registry. I had one of them parked next to me at the now defunct "Twin Pines" airport in Ewing , NJ. In talking with the owner, I found out that in Colorado and some other states with a lot of altitude, after 9 am it was almost impossible to get out of "ground effect" I believe it had a 36 HP engine. That should tell you something!
