Yes.
The pilot came in fast with a bank-and-land approach. The engine was popping a bit, so I thought, 'he must have a problem he needs to check out'.
Nope. He shut it down just long enough for the passenger to get out.
Fired it up and away he went.... still popping.
Heck, I get nervous if the engine doesn't purr like a contented kitty. I doubt I would be flying behind one that is popping. I guess you get used to it though. lol
It could be a Harmon. I had never heard of the Harmon, but Google found the Harmon website which says that they are based on the RV-4 (as mentioned above).
