    Hey Jan, I was just thinking, you may have to do a second wild cat. Im not 100% but I thought I read some where that Butch O Hara also flew a wild cat with the number 13 on the side. Might be worth looking into.

    Im not sure what heritage Jan, Actually credit goes to my wife at least on edward (Butch) O Hara, she mentioned an aircraft in Ohara airport in Chicago and about an old airplane inside with the number 13 on the side a few years back. I just remembered the story after thinking about it more!!! I had to look it up and found the second aircraft

    Well, buy your good lady a nice dinner mate!

    Anyhoo, painted the engine. Started with black and then dusted on gunmetal, so that they won't look all that factory new...
