BTW , what engine is on that thing? I couldnt read the tag in the bad light.

Its an N3N, made by the Naval Air Factory, in Philadelphia, PA, not a Stearman.
I believe that it has a Lycoming R-680-13, 300 hp 7 cylinder engine on front swinging a Ham Standard 3B30 prop.



Nope, Stock Wright 760-8!!!!


Lone Stars N3N is not stock.


I am "Wright", I want my cookie!!!!!!! :axe:

From the Pres of LSFM...

"We are in need of airplane mechanics tools. Many of those specialty tools were damaged or ruined by the salt water that flooded the shop. If you have any tools that you would be willing to loan or sell to us please e-mail lsfm@rogwebs.com. "

I unfortunately don't have any equipment to offer up, but you still have two willing and able bodies up north here that can come down and do some clean up. :)

LSFM - sea water, Yankee Air - fire.

Lets hope that both are even better than before soon.
