    Common radial engine modifications / enhancements

    A question for all radial engine owners/operators. What have you changed or enhanced on your radial over the years, and has it been effective? I'm really keen to understand what the good and the not so good experiences are. Would be good if you could state your engine type too. Thank you, Alex

    Faulty transponder on club aircraft
