    I volunteer at the Kalamazoo Aviation History museum and we have a 4360 on the quick engine change platform. One February Sunday when there were more volunteers than visitors i gave a walk around tour to an older gentleman who had a grand son in tow. He made a few comments about the museum's aircraft and finally I asked him what he flew. "I didn't fly. I helped design the quick engine change platform" . He went on to tell me that the engine had roughly a 900 hour TBO but could be working perfectly today and not start tomorrow. The quick change engine platform was useful if the platform was on the same field as the airplane that required a change- which could be done in one day instead of the three days that it normally required . I feel very privileged to have met so many people whose lives added so much to our technical knowledge.

    I’m no aircraft power plant mechanic, but maybe a prop or even just a weight may smooth out that 2nd and 4th engine. I love these engines for their power, complexity, and sound. By the way, that’s not smoke at startup, that the dreams and aspirations or climate cry babies

    Between every flight they had to change all the spark plugs, 56 per engine, times four engines, 224 hard to get at spark plugs.

      @@rylanthompson5844 You can't compare modern car engines to those engines. You can drive 100,000 miles without changing spark plugs on modern cars, but forty years ago you got 15-20 thousand miles out of spark plugs. Those radial engines fowled a lot of spark plugs, especially the bottom cylinders, so they figured it was better to be safe than sorry.

    The unreliability factor was easily overcome by putting many engines on the wing! The B-36 had six and could loose two and still fly'...with the jet pods. A B-36 once stayed aloft for 51 hours...with those unreliable engines!
