Seeing the C-47/DC3 made me think. Few years back a DC3 pilot told me an interesting fact. A DC3 can only be wheel landed. Three point/stall landings,,,not allowed. Anyone can confirm this?

She flys again!!!, The engine is running great.( Knock on wood) We got the new engine assembled last weekend and ran it monday. Runs great, 2 blades and RRRRRRRRRRRR. We put 1965 cylders, pistons, and heads on the ole jalopy and think we got her all figured out. I flew it for 20 min Friday night, Dad 20 min (1st time since he flew it as a glider), and 2-3 hrs today (Sat), it is running GREAT! My good buddy "Chewy", let us borrow a Snap-On timing light/ tach, and we found our tachometer is WAY THE F____ Off. At max power we indicate 3300rpm, actual is 2750rpm. I did 10 touch and goes tonight at sunset with not even a hic'up. Oil is still indicating a little high on the temp, but much better than 2 months ago. I flew over to Wyncoop airport with another good friend, who is a trans atlantic boeing US Air Capt, who was flying his son's J-3, and the old Corvair powered Piet BLEW THE DOOR OFF THE A-65 CUB! It out climbed, out cruised the Cub. Capt.Dan said I was at least 10mph faster than the Cub! Not too bad for a couple ole country boys who won't give up on the old Chevy. I have some good vidieo of the close formation flying, but it would take me 5 weeks to upload with my dial up. Next question: is anyone going to MERFI? I am. Me and "The Other Shad, (Capt. Dan's son with the Cub), are planning on going up. Mike Cuy?, Frank Pavilga? Skipp Gadd? Don Emch?. I am going to have a cook out (burgers, brats, home grown sweet corn) at my hanger at Chapman Memorial Airport(private and your invited) on the Saturday of the fly in mid afternoon.2-3 pm or so. Skipp, this is on your way home, you can fly home with a full belly, for free, and still make it home before dark. Anyone interested let me know. Skip, If you want to go let me know, you can fly up to my house and we can fly up as a flight of 3 on sat morning (you, me, and a J-3). Sorry this post is so long but I am still Excited (and a little bit drunk from the celibratory beers), But today, shooting wheel landing touch and goes while the sun set and not eating soy beans, or corn stalks was the flying Hi Light of my summer! Shad Let me know if anyone is going to MERFI!!!! Dont let the control tower scare you, all I have is a Sporty's handheld, GET 'ER' DONE!
