Definitely enjoyed -- informative and pretty video! Thanks for including your knowledge on the DC-6. I appreciate that you fly many older planes on your channel. Oh, and thanks to Jim too for being a good crew member!
@Lightdasher360, Thank you! I’m very glad you enjoyed it. I try to learn as much as I can about the aircraft I’m flying, it really helps with trying to fly them as close to real as possible. I’m pretty much only interested in flying the old stuff, I feel they have a lot more character than newer aircraft. Jim is a pretty good crew member most of the time, sometimes he refuses to let go of the throttles and I have to relieve him of his duties.
N9056R Everts Air Cargo was actually built in 1958 and its Serial, 45498 ; Line Number, 1005. I believe its actually a C-118A Liftmaster which is basically the same as a DC-6AC (Cargo). I have a bunch of DC-6A instruments given to me by a collector. Very nice!
Nice details on that airframe! I know a few of the ones Everts has were originally built as C-118 Liftmasters and the fact they still fly them is amazing. I believe the tail number of the one I flew here is N7780B. Sadly it seems they’re slowly replacing them in service and we may not see any flying in a few years. That is amazing that you’ve gotten your hands on some instruments, I’d love to find some things like that myself. Thanks for sharing!
@liquidsnake1123, I believe I have it mapped to “propeller axis 0-100”. I have a honeycomb bravo and set it up for four engine throttles and use the far left lever for the propeller axis. Hope that helps!

What is the propeller level mapped too?
