That is the one of the few Luscombe Model 4's predecessor to the Model 8 power was a 90 Hp Warner otherwise known as the Luscombe 90
built in the same vein with the same type of construction of the 8 series.

If a good landing is one you can walk away from... Then a Great landing is one in which you can IMMEDIATELY reuse the airplane!

They used to build the round engine Luscombs in Kansas City, before Don L. moved east...to this day, you can still see the round engine heritage in the later built Luscombs....if you get a chance to see under the cowling, the firewalls are all round...easily convertable back to a round motor....Isn't that the same Johnson that used to loop the tri-motor...at night...with fireworks going off all around him???
