cochinito77,

Power plant is an OS 120 4-stroke. I put a pitts pipe to prevent having to dig a huge hole in the cowl. Century Jet pneumies. This flight pic is from my screwup with the right gear. The thing that was funny was that I landed this baby twice on the belly due to misadjusted valve. The second belly landing brought an applause. I was able to roll on the tailwheel for more than half the landing strip. Man did it look cool. That is the runnign joke not that I should remove all my gear and just belly land. Nah! pneumatic retracts look too cool. BTW that is a Graupner prop. First time I've used one. I typically use MAS but have been following the thread for warbirds and they seem to be the prop of choice. I also heard that you can dye them as well.
