I’m glad they told us which holes the witnesses were playing at the time. That attention to detail is important.

*cough*

Not many German fighters made it as far as Texas….:)

On the other hand, as common with other engines of the period, OX-5s and Hissos didn’t always need battle damage to quit working.

At least there was no damage due to an albatross

Obviously the engine’s performance was sub-par.

Engine problems, eye witnesses on the course said the engine was puttering on No 4……….

I will get my coat. 😎

Glad they are ok and it looks rebuildable as mentioned.

Are you sure it is a reproduction ? Not a rebuilt original airframe ?
