Well, who knows. Anyway, the 599s we convert to manual-shift drive great and look the part. We make our own upper and lower center-consoles so...
And now to be serious: For the first 599 that we converted, we fabricated a very close copy of the 599 manual shift linkage with only one...

Cool! I'm still jealous! The Nicest plane I piloted was a Stearman bi-plane.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, isn't it? Every race car I ever owned had to be modified so I could get my 6 foot,...
Wish I had either of you here. Just tried to change out the AGM battery in my 575M, and I am not strong enough to pull out the old battery. Guess...
Thank you for the positive words gentlemen! We try real hard.
