That looks sick. Although I wonder if it's solely powered by the propellor, or if it also is connected to a transmission.

I don't fancy having to run leaded avgas with it, bilut given how old the engine is, it's not likely to be built with unleaded fuels in mind.

Also, with those radial engines they'll go through lubricating oil like nothing else. I believe the rule is that If it's not leaking oil, it's all out of oil.
