And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

One oversized prop. Look how close it is to a ground strike! Inches!
Three point at all times.
ReplyDeleteSure looks like somebody stuffed an oversized engine in that aircraft. A really big twin for torque or large 4 cylinder, hard to tell which.
ReplyDeleteIt is a STOL competition plane.
ReplyDeleteAll it does is three point takeoffs and three point touchdowns.
4Cyl.
Seems like a shorter, but more paddle-bladed prop might be better, possibly with 3 or even 4 blades, depending on the engine power available.
DeleteIt'd have to be, wouldn't it.
DeleteBe a real pisser otherwise to do a normal roll out, and chew the prop off when the tail comes up level.
Looks much closer than inches. Millimeters, perhaps? Or maybe mils.
ReplyDeleteLook again! Your frame of reference is off.
DeleteMy guess is that the prop could be for if the cub was on floats.
ReplyDeletePossibly only transport tires ? larger tires installed when flying
