We are restoring our Grumman AF-2S Guardian, so I thought I would post a few shots. Pictures don't really do justice to how big it is, and there is no where in the hanger were I can zoom out far enough to show the whole plane.

Loves the Pics, and the photo of the Carb!

Of all the different types of Piston engines out there, there is nothing to beat the raw beauty of a big Radial motor...(or even a small Radial motor!).

Fantastic in their complication....Works of art!

Great project to be involved with Cool

PS the Guardian certainly hit a few branched of the ugly tree on the way down, though that cockpit is big enough to hold a small party in Grin

Hey, Specter117, where is that place? Anywhere around Daytona?

Also, have you ever heard of Timeless Wings and Wheels, in NSB?

No this is at my house in Ocala. I don't know of that place. Is it a museum?
