    Those old radial engines, so pleasurable to listen to their rumble and roar, just like an old song you know so well.

    Do you like these Wildcat Starts ? :)

      Yes. Anything old. But especially radials. Get one of the old 109 with the inertia starter as found on cash of wings, the fighters

    Wow, what sweet music to those who enjoy vintage IC engines & survivors of the greatest conflict in history. The fact that they are still flyable all these years later is a testament to the engineers, designers & craftsmen/women who produced these. Purely historic & a reminder of the "greatest generation" that answered the call when our country sorely needed them!

    With the FM-2, the Wildcat became the fighter that it should have been all along. The earlier models were competent and quite effective when flown by a pilot who knew NOT to try to "dogfight" with the more nimble opponents. The only aspect that the designers failed to address was the restricted rear vision. A cut-down spine with plexiglass to the rear would have been VERY useful. It did not have to be a "bubble" a la Mustang or late Thunderbolt but perhaps more similar to that of the P-39.

    8 KT crosswind is enought to keep it hangared, with that narrow landing gear.

      Not true, it was heavy and slow. Zero pilots loved it because it was a turkey shoot

      @grizwoldphantasia5005 Před 4 měsíci

      Very true. John Lundstrom's First Team book documents every carrier Wildcat vs carrier Zero dogfight, and the final tally was something like 93-94, they were very closely matched.
      The followup Hellcat was a fine fighter, but it fought the dregs of the Japanese pilots after the Wildcat had fought the experienced ones.

    • @grizwoldphantasia5005
      @grizwoldphantasia5005 Před 4 měsíci +1

      Slightly wrong there, but more correct than you think. They sank two destroyers, not a cruiser and a sub, and yes, with 100 pound bombs, probably by exploding among depth charges or torpedoes on the deck. Look up Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Henry Elrod.

    AT what speed does the Propeller turn when flying, starting and standing?

    • @tomasnokechtesledger1786
      @tomasnokechtesledger1786 Před 3 lety

      Flying about 2400 rpms, with constant speed pitch changing propeller. Idling is about 500.
