Vey nice vid of your aircraft rocco16



When in my early 20's had the opportunity to buy the Ranger engined version for seven hundred quid, with the beautiful metal spats. Bought a new Morris 1100 instead for the same price.

Those 5 cylinder Kinner radials sound like they're permanently in a state of failure!

I agree - a very distinctive sound. I saw what I presume was Harrison Ford's PT-22 in the circuit last week. The sound is unlike any small radial I have heard before.

I doubt Ryan built any with the Ranger, which was an inverted 6-cyl. inline. The pre-war ST, STA, and ST-M used the inverted 4-cyl. inline Menasco engine.

After WWII, a few ST3KR's (a.k.a. PT-22) had the Kinner removed and the Ranger engine installed. Cleaner lines, a bit more horsepower. Some of these were just as beautiful as the pre-war ships, and a few are still around.

barit1, you're correct of course. To be exact it was either a STM-2 or -S2.

Am a little confused, I thought the correct way to land on a golf course was to stall into trees
