Re: Dreadnought help

Re: Dreadnought help

Check on You Tuby and you will find someone trying to start a 4360 on a stand. Something to watch as parts fly by....

Here's a moving cutaway with sound effects from the Hiller Air Museum in San Carlos, just south of San Francisco.

Here's a 2 min video of a 4360 on a trailer starting up.

How about this plane, the Convair XB-36 with "SIX" 4360's. Makes Dreadnought look weak.

Some nice in flight video of the B-36.

Here's the Northrop YB-35 Flying Wing with "FOUR" 4360's.

Imagine the Mararitas the 4360 could mix.

Re: Dreadnought help

So if we find a B36 we can not only mix 6 margaritas at once, but also barbecue hot dogs

What a great idea. "SIX" Margaritas makers and "FOUR" jet engines for the barbeque hot dogs/chicken/steak...

Sounds like a good party. Add some live classic Rock and Roll music from the 60's-70's, some dancing girls from the clubs in Reno, Magaritas, Beer...

Let's get a B36 at the next air race party.

Which one has parts flying? Is that the one in the garage? I gotta see that!

If its the "Penngrove Power Museum" or something like that, its pretty funny. I get the feeling they know how to check for fuel, air, and spark... but maybe not get the proportions or timing right.

In other words, it would be about like *me* trying to start a 4360 without any training. Poor corncob...

Yeah, I saw those. I remember one of the comments from a former Air Force 4360 mechanic about how it's essential to run a club or a least a huge damper on the prop shaft. He suggested a damper from a CAT diesel! Something about torsional loads on the crank. Makes sense to me. I wish I had one to play around with. I need something to put all the manuals I have to good use!
