Devil Dog Engine Overhaul
The Devil Dog Squadron recently sent several Devil Dogs to Oshkosh, WI to begin installing a new left engine on the plane.
The engine is a Wright R-2600, Twin Cyclone 14-cylinder radial engine. Weighing in at just over 2000 pounds and displacing 2600 ci (47.2l), it produces 1700 horsepower and burns 600 gallons of fuel per hour.
A second team traveled to Oshkosh the week of Feb 1st and with the help of the Minnesota Wing, completed the installation and flew the plane back home to Georgetown, TX.
