  • On a previous video someone asked about engine flames, so I figured I'd share some of the very limited footage to showcase it. Couple of startup flames, and lots of pops and coughs from a very temperamental old engine that was running pretty rough.
    Also, someone else made a comment about German engines starting so easily... yeah, not so much. Just like any other engine, they have their quirks. Also, I don't post all the failed attempts because that's usually when all the keyboard jockeys come out.

    It is amazing to think anything that old,can still run and no doubt fly. Awesome.

    The 109E,s rebuilt DB 601 is fitted with a car type direct cranking electric starter which is safer than the original Bosch Eclipse hand wound Inertia starter which required two engineers standing on the right wing root to spin up the flywheel. Some restored BF109G,s have a Bosch Eclipse electric inertia starter,as Bayerische Motorenwerke listed an electric inertia starter as an option on the BF109.

      The Hindenburg did use the DB 602, but it was in no way a similar engine to this 109's DB 601. The DB 602 was a V-16 diesel which displaced more than 2.5 times as much as the V-12 petrol DB 601.

      @FiveCentsPlease 6 лет назад +3

      +Earl Ismyname The aircraft entered service in October 1939 with 6./JG51. During the Battle of Britain on 29-July-1940 the plane was damaged off the coast of Dover while escorting Ju-87s. The pilot was Feldwebel Eduard Hemmerling and he managed to return to the coast of France for a forced landing, and he died from his injuries a few days later. The wings were found in the surf off of the coast of Normandy sometime in the 1980s. The plane was fully reconstructed in the UK over many years.

    This thing purrs right along. If it hasn't been rebuilt, Outstanding run, smoke then is a normal thing and when all is warm and things are seated in, smoking stops. But if you're going to put it into service - rebuild engine and carefully check airframe, every inch of it. The front of the video sucked. Treat it right guys, you have a great machine there.

I mean I just mentioned that I saw him at the reveal and he took the time to thank me for supporting the museum. I noticed he was in the cockpit listening for the sounds to see if it was running right. Oh, how I bet he wishes he could fly it. I don't know maybe he is a pilot also.he's the one that told me "you may get your wish" to see the ME-262 fly some day. I used to out there from that same angle during the week just to catch them doing stuff like this. I had middle of the week days off and many times I saw them testing things.
