@ about 0:23, anyone ever seen a picture of the Ford built opposed 2 cyl engine?



Here's a replica of the same version as in the video that is powered by a 2 cyl Franklin, from http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/000598333L.html:

I think this larger version with the Ford engine (had Wright Whirlwind components {cylinders?} according to Wikipedia) with wing struts is a much better looking plane than the sawed-off looking Anzani powered one.
