Same with me, i am building the aircraft to fly it. my 1st love is to fly and second to build so if i must make a auto conversion i will but i have not looked into it much i have been assuming that the deal for the OX-5 will go thro, but if not, i will start looking into auto conventions. a newer engine also mens less maintenance and rebuilding would be required meaning more time in the air. but a original OX-5 would my 1st pic i believe. evin if you are building it to fly it still is a replica of a beautiful aircraft with allot of history so it is nice wen you can use original parts for it.
i am farly new to building operational replicas so most of the people i know who do it i know from this forums
. scene you mentioned it i have been looking around and so far i have not found a jenny with a auto V8 but I'm sure there is some out there. i am just not very good at Googling
