Thank you for sharing this with us Jim, this is a dream plane of mine. Can you answer one question? When I see people start these up they often let the rpm's sit around 3-400 for a minute before revving up to a smooth idle. Is this so you dont choke the engine out right after startup or is there a different reason for it?
Hey, Jim Sells it’s Abraham. Great job at that video. I like it a lot.
Beautiful Plane❤
There really is nothing like the bark of a radial engine.
former T28 Airframe mechanic here, have not heard that engine sound since Oct 1979 in Corpus; those planes are little hot rods...
I was a PC and turn qualed on the 1820 at Nas Whiting....78/79....🇺🇸
