An aside, most of these airplanes that had 65 horse Continentals
originally were upgraded to 75, 85 or bigger engines with starter and
generator pads and electrics. It added a little weight but power went
up and the airplane flew better. Then they ripped the electrics out and
went back to the 65s for authenticity, I guess.
If you want to fly NORDO, buy an ultralight, is my philosophy. I want
lights and radios.
