It liked to quit at inconvenient moments and required constant attention to oil and coolant levels that a pilot flying a full day of rides didn't always have time to give it.

One failure happened near Glencoe, Minnesota, when the engine quit at low altitude approaching a pasture.

He got the airplane down, barely stopping with the wheels in a drainage ditch.

He spent two days making repairs with parts he borrowed from a shop in the nearest town, paying for them with flying lessons he gave to the shop owner's son.
