WOW! What a great sound. I remember flying on one of the Constellations and hearing those wonderful engines all the way from Indy to LAX. We stopped somewhere and changed planes. I was only 5 but I will never forget that wonderful sound when those engines were started up one by one and then hearing them under a load for take-off. I was so lucky, as my pop worked for the FAA and we flew often. I got to go up in many airplanes. It is so quiet now in the airliners of today. Thanks for the video!

How is the bottom cylinder lubbricated? It seems like the oil would drip down into the combustion chamber.

Can't wait to see Doc in the air with FIFI !

@crispycritterz Only the early production engines had that problem.Once the "combat" engines made their debut the most serious problems had been solved.The early cylinder barrels were the prime cause of many of the fires.The R-3350 served in many aircraft including airliners such as the L1049 Constellation and the DC-7C Cloudmaster to name just a couple.

Those Wrights scare me. They had a nasty habit of catching fire for no reason.

I think this is amazing that there are people restoring an old plane like this

@volodymyrm1 In this case the APU is only a 28v DC generator. B29's use standard electric starters. Magnitos are not tied into the electrical system.

When shooting these things, turn off the "shutter" feature in your camera for a much more natural effect. The shutter is causing a stroboscopic effect which (seems to) stop motion or (worse) making things seem to go backwards. Just a hint for all your wanna be historical film/video makers out there!

@BronzeGiant Yeah.. It does make them look pretty weird.

Will Doc fly again?

That is the plan. I think there might be some $ issues right now. I sure hope it flies again!
