Fantastic! Do the planes running other type engines have a radiator? [Is it necessary in a small plane?]. The A engine was apparently used because of the low rev. torque but you would need fail safe/back up ignition system!
Re not being able to see ahead, Charles Lindberg could not see directly ahead in Spirit of St Louis, tricky on take off & landing but he was a superb pilot. Cheers.
