The T-28 is my favorite single-engine aircraft. An ex-boss of mine has (had?) a T-28B, and I was lucky to be back-seat ballast on a number of flights before he moved up north. I had an opportunity to buy a flight in the back of a B-17G once, too. Naturally, that's my favorite multi-engine aircraft!
As I understand it, the lubricating oil used was castor oil. The combination of castor oil smoke and unburned oil spray from the exhaust would acquaint the pilot with the laxative properties of castor oil after extended flight. :shock:
This has made me contemplate how evil it would be to build...
Don't forget a transfer case to drive the steer axles, too!
:driver:
P.S.: Why did you choose the wimpy little 2,000 HP engine? ;)
P.P.S: The littler ones (including the corn cob) are air-cooled. I'm not sure about the larger ones.
