Default Re: Take a gander at this.

Yet another Model A "Piet".
The only ones I have seen with radiators are with a Ford Model A engine producing hopefully 50 h.p. at sea level with a high compression head. At my altitude, I would never get off the ground in the summer. Even with a Continental A65 it would be scary. My Cub is running a C85 which can get me out of most mountain strips. Most everyone with old planes here in the mountains run at least 85 hp engines.
