I had been up to the Cavanaugh Museum about 2 weeks ago. The engine had been received back from the shop (which I will not name at this time), and everything had been installed on the motor mount like a QEC package. Over 7 feet in height when standing upright. Looked impressive. The engine had failed last year before Midland, and was later diagnosed as a front master rod bearing failure. The engine had around 12 hours time on the clock. Doug said they were going out the New Mexico the following week to install the engine and hoped to be home soon. Glad he is OK. Alan Brooks
