Jesse..
I'm visiting my daughter and son in law a few miles north of Indianapolis..I would have loved to stop in for a peek but didn't have time..coming down..but I'm going to hang outside when you start her up..I'm sure the Brickyard will have nothing on the sound in your back yard..beautiful work..If I can find it I will look when I get back for some info from a radial engine mechanic about his years of working on those engines during the war..I let all that info go with the rest of my manual collection when I sold It but may be able to find it..It told how to set up the different magnetos and tuning it up..a real interesting piece of work..
I know where your town is and I head east through Detroit..but a swing north west may be a possibility ..IF I can get my wife to sleep long enough when we take off for home..

Anyway I have been following and will check out the info I had on the Radials..
