With some of the nasty tricks a Camel rotary can pull on a person,
authenticy can have its price. I'm not sure I'd want to do that even
if it's no longer the real thing. P.



Authenticity does have it's price. I'm building a reproduction Curtis
JN-4D and people look at me like I got things growing out of the side of my
head when I tell them it will have an original OX-5 engine. They don't
realize that I am an engineer and I will be modifying the engine to make it
more reliable.
