    Sounds like a music! Congratulations, radial engines…… Put more videos, showing the engine gauges. Tks from Brazil

    I love the question right at the end after the engine is running… “Do you have any tail-wheel time?”

    I like how nervous that guy in the back looks. Great sound!

    If it aint a radial, it aint aviation. 🙂

    Aha!

    Man that engine sounds nice, though.

    I build GE90s for a living, which is the most powerful high bypass turbofan on the planet, but it doesn’t sound near as sweet as this.

    The Alt. switch was off.

  16. rongawer on July 8th, 2010 7:13 am

    It sure is. Talk about an adrenaline rush.

    That’s a Jacobs 7 cylinder Radial isn’t it? ,that’s what it sounds like

    “Guess that might help.”

    Did he leave the mags off? Throttle closed?

    Regardless, those old “Shaky Jakes” sound mighty fine.

    nothing beats the sound of a radial!

  20. agcatdriver on July 8th, 2010 9:16 am

    HA! I gather you forgot to switch the mags on after a few blades!

  21. s172mch on July 8th, 2010 9:31 am
