The chatter on IRC said it used to fly. My web research agrees 1823 in3, most references to the ASH-62 say 1000 hp, but it seems to be a variant of the Wright Cyclone R1820 which I've found rated between 900 and 2000 hp, so perhaps the 1300 hp in the definition file isn't beyond belief. I found a type certificate for the engine here: http://home.hiwaay.net/~jlwebs/engine.html and much data on the airframe here: http://an2flyers.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
