Hi, Do you seasoned Piet Pilots with Ford A power think an "A" can be modified enough to put out the power needed to fly a long fuselage Piet at it's max gross weight in the Summer out of an airport with 4,000 feet elevation? Lots of density altitude. Runway length will be plenty 5,500 feet. If so what engine and/or airframe modifications would you guys recommend? Thanks, Kevin________________________________________________________________________________
