I've seen a couple pictures of a radial 12 before, but no live action. I'm assuming it's some version of a Warner, but don't know the horsepower. It sounds cool, but doesn't exactly look like it's setting the world on fire.

So, Jim,

Are the Keller flaps installed yet, or are you running stock flaps first, then the Keller’s.

These were stock flaps. Kellers will be next.

I look forward to what you find. Should be a great test of the flaps.

How about a NO2 foot warmer bottle under the seat? Instant boost of power. A local experimenter had one on a Taylorcraft so he could take off and not sink into the lake when the wheels left the shore and hit the water. No story...saw it done.
