then a 5/3 Piper Cub. Think a Piper Cub the size of an Antonov Colt!

Oooh! Can you say useful load?

That is actually a neat idea!

It was a fun article. Completely toungue in cheek. Maybe it was
bigger than 5/3. It was supposed to have an R-1340 completely hidden
under a fiberglass replica A-65. One fake cylinder held a 55 gallon
drum of oil and the other three held gas. The interior would have two
levels with a spiral staircase, (just like a 747!) Perhaps best of all
the pilot would wear a gorilla suit! I haven't seen that issue in 30
years but I still remember that story.
