Picture of the Day: A 1940 Funk returns home
Dan Mersel submitted this photo and note: “This 1940 model B75L Funk, N24170, which has now been owned for two years, had been previously restored on the West Coast. The original plan was to fly it to its new home at Sawyer County Airport (KHYR) in Hayward, Wisconsin. Because of its limited range, resulting from a fuel tank with only 13 gallons of useable capacity, and due to the higher terrain that the flight would have traversed, it was instead disassembled and transported by truck to KHYR. During its restoration, the engine, which was a 75-hp Lycoming G0-145, was upgraded to a Continental C85.”
