Warner engine on ebay

'I noticed there's a Warner 185 hp engine on ebay right now. Doesn't
happen too often.

Also, along Fairchild lore, I've made the aquaintance of a lad in Pennsylvania
who is doing a full restoration on a Fairchild 71. A very rare bird indeed and
I'm aware of only three others, two of which are in flying condition.

Also, on the what's rare department, I have confirmed that there is a flyable
Fairchild 42, also called a Fairchild Foursome, up in Wasilla Alaska. Only
about seven built. Much like a Fairchild 51 in size but four seats, two rows
of two.
