Tom, she looks sweet. And, right at home in the snow.

Out of curiosity, when were the first opposing cylinder engines built?

According to Chet Peek's book 'The Taylorcraft Story' Continental began work on the A-40 in 1930. My T-craft came out of the factory in January of 1939 with serial # 127 of Lycoming's 1st effort at an opposed cylinder engine the 0-145. Aeronca had their own engine a two cylinder job in the C-2 back in October 1929.
The Taylor E-2 Cub was being produced in 1931 with an Cont. A-40. Might be some others out there..................
