They replaced all the plexi and the entrance door in exchange for the top turret.

OOPS. I should have answered this right away. Copper gasket on prop distributor valve was backwards affecting RPM. Shut down as a precaution. Problem fixed, all is well. No secrets.



Thanks for the info, I was mainly curious when I watched her land the other day. As an A&P, I understand that these things happen, and precautionary shutdowns are not too much to worry about.

Thanks again!

Kris

There is also a 50 cal. right behind the top turret over the radio operators compartment, it can only fire aft and slides into position on rails.
