Gents,

I like all these pictures of the planes from long time ago.
It does let me think about the early days I did fly pattern myself.

With pictures we can bring back planes, memories and details.

I do not know all these people (Bonetti? Italian?) and planes but I still have my own picture.

When I see my picture I have to smile for several reasons look the red oval!
What’s that?
Yes, air inlet of the fuel tank!

So again, let the photo’s come. ( I make them today)

In the beginning we didn’t have the two-needle carburetor, but, I call it, an air bleed carburetor.
One fuel needle and an adjustment for idle mixture>> air.

Who still knows?

An old (1965) Super Tigre to show you such an old carburetor. Picture 2 and 3
and the exhaust? These were the screamers!
We did not have to drill holes in the engine, It did have holes everywhere you did look, even in the holes there were holes.

No, we could not use the exhaust pressure and Evangelista Torricelli (Italian!!!) did tell us in the past how to manage the fuel tank.

Super Tigre the good old pattern engine.

Also when you want to use them again, you must read the instructions very carefully!! (picture 7)
Picture 8, the adjustment screw and bleed air hole in front of the carb.
