Guess you really like attention since you keep showing up in yet ANOTHER video just to threadjack the comments with your personal bias. And now we can all sit back and watch when your comments are inevitably challenged, you will degrade this thread to petty insults because you cannot support your arguments. Just so we're all clear on that fact from the start. Cue up your Topf & Soehne ovens arguments in 3..2..1....

@beeroosterm

And you've just proven my point. The vile racist comments you have been tossing out in other threads is particularly disturbing coming from someone holding the rest of us to such a high moral standard. It looks as though you are what you profess to despise.

You must be really unhappy with your life today since you're being particularly curt. F**kface? C'mon I thought you were more articulate than that. Tsk tsk.....

Too late now lads. You missed your chance!

Remember that the P51 (amazing plane) wing was designed by a German living in USA. Rolls engines reliability is what made that plane a success other with its dogfight abilities.

The BMW cooling fan was geared off of the front of the engine to rotate at 3x propeller speed. The Russian/Chinese ASh-82 has roots in the Wright Cyclone engines that were license-built in Russia, but it sometimes incorrectly described as a "copy" of the BMW, which it is not.

@FiveCentsPlease Wow! I would have bet my left testee that it wasn't air-cooled! I thought, if memory serves me right (getting older) that the original radial had a fan in the back to cool the engine. I wonder if thise Chineese engines are copies/knock-offs of the original radial engines. Thanks for the info!

@5inthehole

It's not my airplane, this is the prototype. The ASh-82 is an air-cooled 14-cylinder radial, same as the original BMW. The BMW had supplemental force-air cooling with a geared fan. These replicas have a cooling fan mounted to back of the propeller but some owners have removed that. Regarding BMW prices, I have no numbers to provide for you and the price would depend on the original condition. Even an unused new engine would still need a very expensive overhaul to go flying.

@FiveCentsPlease Do you know what the price of an original working BMW801 radial engine would be? Whew!, i'd bet you it would be a pretty penny! Even one in servicable, but not running, condition must be sought after by collectors. I bet you that new engine you have isn't air cooled....correct?

@5inthehole

This replica is patterned after the A-8 series, that last A series except for a few A-9. There were no more before the longnose D series. What control problem are you referring to? This was the first test hop for the new replica.

[5inthehole]

Did you see the plane start to pull to the left soon after take off? This was a problem that was resolved in the hands of a pilot familiar with the plane and in up-modeled editions. What a beauty that butch bird is!

@FiveCentsPlease Thank you for the answer. When you hear it it sounds a bit "wrong". But a real nice plane.
