DC3

Many thanks, gentlemen. My only experience with piston egines was with small engines on the Chipmunk and Saunders Roe Skeeter. The Chipmunk mixture was only used in the cruise for economy. The Skeeter engine had no mixture control but it did have a primer that had to be used cautiously. It had a cartridge starter that either started the engine or it didn't. I think our record one cold and damp day on exercise was something like fifty cartridges before it finally caught.

If ever I win the lottery I think my first purchase will be a DC3 conversion.
