An example of the engine hidden under the cowl. Sure takes less space when standing on the engine mount.

What a beauty. I see it at Oshkosh every year, and never get tired of looking at it.

I had a 2600 display engine in my hangar that hadn't seen an oil can for probably 40 years, and it kept filling the drip pan faithfully. Heck I should have kept it............it made more oil than some of the wells I've drilled.
