I had a bunch of Warbird aircraft parts that came with some other items I bought at an auction. I've sold some of the stuff but finally found a buyer for the lot of it. He came from Indiana and I brought the stuff down to South St Paul Flemming Field were the Commemerative Airforce wing for Mn gather. Some cool old planes that went up that day and many more under reconstruction in the hangar. I learned what some of the parts I had belonged to. The buyer is a member of the Indiana CAF and was there to get some check out hours in the yellow trainer.
Nothing sounds like a big radial engine firing up.
I had a cylinder and head for the Kinker 5 cylinder radial in the little Ryan trainer.
A cylinder for a inline inverted Ranger engine.
Carbs for a similar twin PW radial as well as a main crankshaft.
Carb for a V-12 Allison
All in all, it was a big trailer load for not much more than the price of the gas. Filled his truck with boxes two layers (and more) deep. Hope to keep some history flying.
