Welcome to TM John and I hope you're having fun. Not sure what mileage you've done but the early bevel boxes were noisy at almost all speeds. If you're still in the running in phase and haven't got to the first service yet then I wouldn't worry about it too much, as it should get quieter with use.

Jay- Here is my other weekend toy. 1929 Bird biplane. It has the orginial 5 cylinder kinner radial engine. 125hp so my goggles get heavy use. The Morgan is perfect for heading to the flying field! I need to get a picture of them together this spring.

VERY nice John! That radial must sound wonderful. Old planes and Morgans fit very well I think!

Looking forward to seeing the photo of them both together.
The biplane is just gorgeous.

Fantastic looking bird.... Were you tempted to have the 3W done in the same colour scheme?

John, I'm in Houston, will probably be ordering soon! Who did you order from, I'd definately want to avoid what you went through. Love the proper bonnet strap, wherever did you the the hardware and the strap - it's FAR nicer than the cheapo fake strap from the factory! Hope to see your M3W on the Gulf Coast soon!

Every pilot needs a biplane. I believe that the ideal hangar mate for my Pitts Special is an M3W, and I'll be ordering soon. something about lowering oneself into the cockpit for a fast ride or a good aerobatic session just fits the bill. TN
