Nice looking classic.
What is the Warner engine size and HP, and what propeller, diameter, and pitch are you using?
You should make the aquaintance of Al Rice over in Meridian, ID. He also flys a 24W around the back country. I believe he's a pilot for the U.S. Department of the Interior on his day job. Really a nice guy. Saved my butt a few years ago when I blew a tailwheel tire on a Sunday in Nampa,ID. If you're interested, try lov2fly28525@cs.com

Almost bought one, but at the time no insurance company wanted to insure a student pilot. It was a 24R that was kept at Lawrence.
