I like Continentals just fine though I only have one. 6L6 has one of those things that burn kerosene and they look like a ton of fun.
congratulations again btw 
really lovely facilities,
kind of ironic that what comes out these days from this factory will be almost as warm (on the outside) as the electric kilns before them.
Also, maybe after the leak is fixed, add dropped false ceilings, warm wallpaper and some nice leafy plants to cozy things up for the worker ants ? After all, happy employees make happy customers

One of the best airplanes I've ever heard was a '55 310 with the short exhaust augmenters over the wing... Very distinctive sound.
That said, for amazing noise with tone and personality you need to hear a Twin Bonanza before they are all gone-- a pair of GO-480, swinging 3-blade props, and a pair of big, large diameter, throaty augmenters per engine. It sounds like nothing else, because the exhaust pulses don't exactly correspond with the blade noises and the result is sonorous. (If you like old airplane noise.)

Yes we know the song of a 310 quite well; Nelson's father flew a 310Q for many years, and maintained it for a good many more after he sold it.
When the Sr Pass was 70 years old, he rebuilt both powerplants for the 310, installed new Garmin Glass and 3axis auto pilot.... I went with on one of the qualification flights.
Like NP with electronics, there was something really special about a Joe / Joey Pass powerplant. Normal service ceiling for that ship, isn't above 22,000 msl and climbing.
Quite a remarkable guy....focus, talent and kindness a hallmark of that family.
And the tie-in before I get accused of wandering off topic. The new Pass Labs facility is within rock throwing distance of the old "Pass-Time Aviation" The next generation of "Pass" is on field.

In Canada, power consumption like that would lead people to think
you have a grow-op.
All kidding aside, it's wonderful to see Pass Labs expand into a
new facility. It'll take some getting use to seeing the new
PL address.
Greedy boyz: Update your address book. Don't send wine to
the wrong place.

You mean WACO -- a true barnstormer:
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Is that the old Critical Mass? I see they are right in the neighborhood, but no longer racing.
