Cool vids that second one had an engine that started easier than most modern engines.

Those are great. At the end of the first one was a radio I had when I first started flying back in the 60's.
Thanks

I think we should be required to wear a coat and tie at IMAC events...

I'll write up the RCP.. who will co-sign it with me?
