Yup i still get to work on radials periodically and having been in a radial overhaul shop 4+ years my brain gets picked and my Pratt tools get borrowed. Been learning more about horizontally opposed 4 and 6 cyl, and even some Turbine work. But most of my 8 months at "Ace Aviation" (lol right?) has been focused on airframe work so I could build up enough experience to challenge both the FAA Powerplant and Airframe ratings. Very happy to say, my documents 3 inches high double sided, were reviewed by the feds on Monday and I am SIGNED OFF to take the tests!!! Three written tests (general, powerplant, airframe) and two oral/practical exams and $1550 to go and I will hold an A&P certification which will go nice with my Private Pilot, Instrument, Complex Aircraft and High Performance Ratings. Might go fly Seaplanes in Alaska if I can finish the commercial pilot before summer of 2017 as well. That's been my dream. Fly, wrench, guide fishing, make enough money for the year every Summer, and chill all year.
Alright enough blabbing about myself. I'm gonna kill some reds.
