And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
1650 cubic inches or 27 liters. Not as robust as the Allison V1710 but had far better supercharging so better above 12,000 feet. If you're paying the bills nowadays the Allison wins easily.
Whats it use for fuel per hour, kinda gotta figure that in i guess. AvGas ain't exactly cheap. Last year it was $5 per gal at the local strip, i use it for my race bike, adding 5% acetone, tiny splash of xylene, maybe a teaspoon, takes it from 101 to around 116 octane, works excellent, better for a higher revving engine than running straight avgas.
whole lotta motor right there

ReplyDeletewonderful sound. Once upon a time, used a 10-second startup sound clip as startup sound on my PC. Shutdown sound was a P-51 flyby.
ReplyDeleteThe RCAF's Lancaster flew over my house once. FOUR Merlins in perfect unison. Most joy I've had with my clothes on.
