I have one in a Super Stearman. Power is good, but not unlimited. Sounds cool and really draws attention at the field. On board glow is a must, along with a long break in (at least a half gallon) to keep all three lit. All three cylinders are fed by one carb. That makes it easy to set, but you can't tune to match each cylinder, so you have to run a bit rich and use the on board glow to relight a down cylinder in flight.

I run one on a 72" WACO Bipe, nice power and sound. I agree you need the glow driver, it flies the WACO one two cylinders, but it nice to just power down, relight the dead cylinder, then have full power again, it only takes a couple seconds.
