Yes there seems to be a fair bit of misplaced (pride?) regarding this build. Engine tidiness and tune comments that expose a lack of knowledge in general regarding the subject matter, not just this particular machine. All together a very pretty aircraft just the same.
I discovered this airplane in a hangar at Manching airport while visiting my friend Horst Philipp, near Ingolstadt, in August 2015. Some years later I received some images of the engine being torn down, taken by Uwe Glaser, who was close with Dirk Abende. He explained to me, with the many photos, the faults discovered upon initial engine runs. This Emil is a good example of the restorers art, probably the best detail and finish of any 109 yet.
I went to an old battered shack of a Museum in Harlingen, Texas by memory in the 1990s. A brit on a young family weekend away from the Oilfields. I came across two FW190 Airframes and maybe their engines on the ground. You probably know more than me. I am sure they are now air worthy.
@@eamo106 The Texas Air Museum rebuilt four Fw-190s from wrecks although not to a very high standard. The Collings Foundation has "White 1" from that batch and it was completely rebuilt again to airworthy standard (but not flown yet.) One was also done again and returned to Norway for static display. The others are still around, at least one in Virginia and needing a lot of work.

I don't know about the rest of you but in my opinion the restorations that have been done on these lost and now found WW2 aircraft, whatever country they come from, are downright miraculous! All involved are to be sincerely thanked and congratulated!
No words come to hand that describes how monumental this is. Thank you for posting. A piece of aviation history that seems almost impossible to preserve. What a sound.
Absolutely GORGEOUS work!!! Fantastic restoration, bravo!! Now if someone could do a similar restoration on a 109-K4... There's a few G2's, G6's and a G10 or two, but no K4's. Heard there was a long term K4 project going on somewhere, but no recent news of it.
+@WHJeffB I think there are two K-4 projects but neither one of them are airworthy that I'm aware of. I don't think there are many DB-605D engines around.
I can not figure out at all what high knowledge, how many researches, how many hours, attemptions, fails and so on...required to come up to this stage, to have such a beautifully restored WW2 bird...it costed millions...beautiful airplane, extremely good restoration, indeed...hat down!
+@klesarhr-bz5of The first flying Bf-109E restoration was for Paul Allen's museum and Allen put his wealth into his collection. All flyable Bf-109Es up to now have come from the same workshop that rebuilt Allen's Bf-109E years ago.
@@klesarhr-bz5of Paul Allen's Bf-109E flew in the Battle of Britain and was force-landed on the beach in France with the pilot passing away from injuries later. It was discovered buried in the sand a few decades ago. ua-cam.com/video/Nrsevx137jg/v-deo.html
Immaculate! Thank you for sharing this mechanical work of art. I often wonder if the DB engines can perform better using modern fuels and lubricants, as this was a limiting factor during the war.
Forced induction and water injection can compensate for lower octane fuels. It’s still true today. Water methanol injection on my 2022 ford ranger lets me have the full 320 horse boost upgrade but run lower octane fuels. Without water methanol injection? Not sure how long it would have lasted. With 93 or 94 octane fuel? I can turn the boost up higher but it runs fine using water methanol to compensate for the 87 octane cheap gas I can find everywhere
Beautiful machine ... my first and only Cox powered model airplane was a BF-109 .. it cut my dad's finger on start-up and then I crashed it. It was a cold winter day.
Probably was upgraded to E-7 for the eastern front. I suspect the larger expanse of territory they had to fly over required the fitting of a long range fuel tank and larger oil tank. So technically yes it was probably built as a BF-109E-4 but was probably upgraded to a BF-109E-7 prior to being sent over. Excellent job on a very unique aero engine. DB-600 series inverted V-12s are very hard to come by anymore.
Same could be said for Russian planes communism wasn’t much better as an ideology either ..it murdered quite a lot more people that didn’t agree with it too ..
I love the comments below, and just would like to add how a simple well designed casting replaced all the labour intensive welded frame of the British fighters? Never mind the ergonometric use of the inverted "V".
Classic 'Stone Crusher' the DB,s and Jumos distinctive plodding beat that instilled terror to those cowering in Londons Tube Stations at the height of the Blitz . In contrast Rollers Merlin sounds angry snarly , like a cat whose tail is caught in a door.
Yes, it is a centrifugal supercharger, in fact you can see the art of the supercharger behind the air inlet but in these versions with that inlet it is not seen well, it is seen better (because it is exposed) in the later versions with circular inlet
Spalanie około 100 l /h na mocy bojowej?Ten motor wręcz śpiewa,mam wrażenie ,że chodzi bardziej miękko ,szumy turbiny ,inny świst niż DB 605.Szacunek dla ludzi , którzy odrestaurowali tą śpiewającą stal.
What makes it so quiet? Its almost like all you can hear are the mechanical noises from the engine, the supercharger, but barely any exhaust noise. Whereas the mustang is really all exhaust noise
That is the difference between a good quality engine, tuned perfectly by someone who knows what he does and using high quality fuel. This plane gets taken care of. While such Mustangs you talk about are mostly cheaply restored for a museum. No heart in it, no sweat, no blood. Just so it runs barely for visitors to see and hook them. Engine badly tuned, probably even with some defects they did not care about and so on.
@@dom3827 I would rather hear the engine as it was during the times when it was used rather than an impossibly maintained and tuned one with fuel that the germans couldn't even dream off back then, it would only further increase the "german perfection" myth.
Nice video ,but confused obviously an E- model from the rear tail plane struts& small nose cone,but appeared to have a DB603 not a 601 or even 605 am I wrong about the 603?
+@richardmarshall4322 All surviving Bf-110 examples and wreckage are in museums, except for one wreck that is in private storage and said to be complete enough for a project.
You have to hand it to whoever rebuilt that engine. No smoke at all on start up and sounded spot on.. Well done.
No smoke just means it wasnt full of oil for storage.
@@ethanhiggins4887 Or that we're not actually looking at the first start up ;-)
was´nt a cold start ;-)
@@mikef.1000 yup. They probably ground run these just like any other engine overhaul shop would
My thoughts exactly.
Masterpiece NOT ONE WHISP OF SMOKE AND NO BACFIRE..... just a beautiful piece of engineering!!!! Amazing!!!!!!
direct injection engines do not backfire or something is wrong

Difference is engine type

Such a clean installation compared with other aircraft of the era. They had pipes and wires everywhere.
Beautiful restoration!
Hard to believe that this aircraft is over 80 years old! Amazing!
Прекрасно, проделанна грандиозная работа, надо отдать должное инженерам того времени, они были гениальны...
Super cool the hissing noise of the turbo! What an engine design! clean, concise and elegant.

une merveilleuse machine, un chef d'œuvre d'ingénierie malheureusement un outil de mort.... bravo pour la restauration
Superb to hear and see, a beautiful piece of art
It's a thing of beauty way ahead of its time.
Awesome, I love the fact that these old war birds are being preserved.
Thank you for watching!! I am amazed that so many like this plane

Beautiful plane and an outstanding restoration.
WOWOWOW NO SMOKE! NO MISFIRES! LOOKS LIKE YOU DID A REAL, COMPLETE, MODERN ENGINE REBUILD!!!!! LOOKS LIKE YOUR TUNE UP IS PREFECT TOO!!
The level of engineering and workmanship was 30-40 years ahead of its time. Looks like a Grand Prix engine from the 60/70’s
Smooth running. Good balance. Very impressive.
Thanks for watching

Perfekter Rundlauf!
Some very interesting engine sounds there
Considering that the pistons are installed hanging and so oil can flow on them, it is astonishing that the engine does not emit smoke after starting.
Großartig !!! 👍🏼🏆👍🏼
That’s beautiful to look at 😅😊

Lovely! Congratulations, but a couple of old bricks chocking the wheels and the tail not tied down!! A big risk taken there!
une oeuvre d art ...

The most successful fighter aircraft engine in history.
One of the best aircraft of its time. But Willy Messerschmitt was also a poor soul, driven by his genius!
It looks like completely new from factory
There is a kind of high pitched whine sound that is very clear while idling. Is that from the supercharger?
