Don't let anybody scare you about a 110 in the WM .46 warbird. It's a perfect combo - no nasty habits, flys great and lands fine.
There are tricks to make them hold up. Some guys ca and baking soda the firewall and cowl area. Also, shim the rear of the gear block with a popsicle stick or equivalent thickness to move the wheels forward to help with noseovers.
Here's a video. Most of the planes are WM .46 warbirds with YS 110's. They are the most popular combination at our field. Bill
