Not sure what this is, but it's NOT a typical A65-8. Listed as an A65-1.
Note the exhaust ports coming out of the tops of the cylinder heads, and the
spark plugs relatively far down the cylinder head, and going in at right
angles to the cylinder bore. Also, max RPM is listed as 2850, rather than
the 2350 of an A65-8. Of course, with only a 54" diameter on the prop, 2850
RPM might be possible, for a while.

I suspect the 2850 is either a typo, or mis-reading of the data plate.
>From the following (page 5) the A-65-1 is rated at 65HP at 2350 RPM.

Could this be the engine that was built for land based generators.

I don't think this was an engine for a GPU.
We've discussed these engines before and there's at least one Piet with
this model. It's red with squared off wingtips somewhere on the west
coast...

That may have "-1" on the data plate, but it looks like it has been converted into
a "-3". The "-1" is only single ignition. Continental built this up until
1939. There are very few of the actual "-1"'s because they had just come out
with the 65hp that year and the feds came out with the requirement for dual
ignition. I think some time in June of that year. So there was only a couple
of months, i think, that the A65-1 was built. They then went to the "-3". The
"-3" is the same as the "-8" only it has up exhaust. This one has been converted
into the dual ignition "-3". Aeronca was the one that used this the most.
The prewar Chiefs used them. A couple of the other manufacturers used them
for a short time too.

Snow? I was fishing this afternoon (too warm for deer hunting). Caught 70+
fish, including 32 largemouth bass (which we couldn't keep due to club rules
in the lake where we were fishing). Here's a selection of the ones we did
keep:

I have 600x6 on 502R. I have had it on a couple of pretty rough strips
with no issues. However I am looking at a pair of 8.50x6 at the airport
that are spares. Here is a picture of an 8.00x6 that I was playing with
a month or so ago.
