Default Super Morton M5 by Bruce Satra

Hello,
I am trying to help my partner (Mike White) of Vernal Utah gather a list of interested individuals who have interest in the
Morton M5 that was re-designed and improved by the late Bruce Satra.
Keep in mind this is a 5 cylinder radial engine, the original was mainly used as a training tool during the world war II era,
however, with improvements in compression, cam timing, etc... instead of producing 3,500 rpm max, according to the list or prints that I have, it now produces 8,000 rpm max and runs on glow fuel
instead of gasoline mixed at 3:1 with 40 weight oil.

looks like the vernal site is currently down, here is the page with contact info for Mike White

Mike was a close friend of Bruce Satra and currently has the molds and tooling needed to make these engines.

We may offer this engine as a complete and ready to run option in the near future.

I had a Morton M5. It ran like a sewing machine and produced about the same power.
I sold it in 1946 for $10!
