Re: Model A Aircraft Kit
Nice video. I really enjoyed it. The chase plane was nice too.
I guess the question of why anyone would fly an antique airplane with a Model A engine in it is like why would anyone drive an antique Model A when you can just jump into a Toyota and drive anywhere.
A hot Model A engine with insert bearings, cam, big valves, Weber, counterbalanced crank, etc. will put out 80 hp or more. More than enough to power the Pietenpol.
