    I most defiantly will when I do get started in the building faze. lot of prep do do first. I was corresponding to Mr. Sauser when he was designing His 82* scale P6-E. and didn't buy a set of plans. I am still kicking my self for not doing so. his widow will not sell anymore plans. Mr.Sauer used a HO crate chevy 350. I plan on using a BMW V12. Should be a little more power close to 375- 400HP . which is close to the Curtiss D12 series. AND IT IS A V 12!

    In seeking STC's and other aircraft modification information, I have filed Freedom of Information requests with the FAA...very nice people to work with and very quick(in Gov't time) response. Give them every detail and sources you have contacted. I have always enjoyed the group at the Curtiss Museum. Great people without the Prima Donna atmosphere. Good luck es 73!
