It got suchpoor "mileage" that he trailered it 107 SM from Ponca City to Fairview forthe airshow rather than fly 71NM. Quite a show. Big radial sound with a jet whine overlay. Throttles forward, rollabout 150 feet and then climb straight up (and I mean straight up) a thousandfeet and start doing aerobatics. So There is your answer. A Pockety, pockety model A in the nose and a jet strappedto the bottom. Don't forget the trailer for trips.Blue Skies,Steve D----- Original Message -----

Correct, except it was a Waco UPF-7, not a Stearman.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHOF4eXC ... elatedJack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh. NC-----Original Message-----
