Default Re: Take a gander at this.

His or her neck must be sore by the time they reach their destination from craning to see in front
You don't look "out the front" you look along the side and downward when taking off or landing. Nothing to see directly ahead and above you except blue sky...if the ground is that direction you're in big trouble. I've flown behind an A engine in an old Piet. Plenty of leaking oil, JB weld on a frost crack etc. Plenty of power/lift. Best sounding airplane engine EVER.
