shortstripper what about the wartime Auster 5's with the O-290? they looked OK. Don't forget that the Auster was born as the Taylorcraft
poor southerner nobody told me about changing the lift struts. I'd never noticed that the bigger engined Austers had different struts. Will check with my font of knowledge who holds the Mod. If it is the case it makes getting a tatty Auster to cannibalise an even better prospect. I can't access thehangar from work, our net nanny treats it like a porn site........
Has anybody seen the Auster that Dr. Kirk is selling for 5k?
