TC,

snip lots of good stuff

Now, as to putting an R-680 on a Beech 18 airframe that wasn't
originally designed for the small engines....well there are
'interesting' ideas all the time in aviation. Just yesterday I got
word of a guy who droped a Chevy V8 into a Cessna 150, used rubber
hoses for the fuel lines and couldn't seem to understand why the FAA
was a little less than understanding about the whole thing. Just
because he hadn't sought to get any sort of approval before deciding
to fly it...


Sounds like someone was watching too much "Monster Garage" on Discovery. Makes
the banner tow company I worked for look good and professional.
