Hot damn.

I guess I better start looking for a good old folks home. That thing looks like a gas guzzler. I’m definitely tasting the mashed carrots before making a decision.

You are losing money if you don’t do it!!

I know the guy selling it. Awesome dude.

I think he needs to pay for the gas for his other Russian toys!

Are there no real men out there?

Heh. Those are kinda metal Sukhoi's (which used to be the flavor of the month)
so they have the same engine as the Sukhoi except you can park them outside.
Because they're metal they didn't have the same vertical and didn't get the bonus
wow points from the contest judges.

The Ace Of The Base™ here (retired USAF U-2 pilot) had one of those for sale for perhaps 10 years and then did this:



Make an offer on it. I think he's in Alabama now?

Those M14P's have a totally different sound doing acro. They sound like a tractor on meth.
They used them on the model 12 Pitts. One of the weirdest airplanes I've ever flown, kinda
like a baby Stearman. They sure made good smoke though.

Those are neat engines and I’m not sure one has ever been put on an uncool airplane. There’s an open cockpit Pitts 12 that I see around from time to time and it makes me feel things. Another was on the front of a heavily modified Acro II that belonged to a guy I knew. It was probably too much engine for that airframe, annual maintenance was wild with things like re-bushing elevator hinges and it didn’t even fly that much.

I think the M14P was 360hp and the M14PF was 410hp … started with compressed air IIRC. Different.

PS IMHO you can get a weird airplane when you mix completely different airplanes and powerplants.

One of the strangest airplanes I ever flew was a WagAero Sportsman (think ragwing Piper taildragger- kind and sweet) with a geared auto engine conversion of a Mazda Wankel rotary engine which was always shrieking angrily at high RPM and continuously mutinously overheating. The engine wanted to kill you all the time and the airframe was so sweet and kind. Really disorienting to fly. Probably the scariest airplane I ever flew. Normally you fly weird airframes with a normal-ish engine, which they make up for with shaky systems.

An M14P on an American tube & fabric taildragger is a weird crossbreed as well but not quite so demented. A radial is perfectly suited to a tube & fabric biplane - just not a metric one with compressed air!
