Those radial engines sound so good. It's a case where flat recip engines and turbines may be easier to operate, but that radial sound is so visceral that it makes it all worthwhile.

@Coderoid I correct myself. I saw a picture of a Beech 18 with sky divers on the left wing, and a man dangling by a prop blade from the FEATHERED left engine.

@Ayinger - Well said. An absolute riot of a noise.

Me thinks that losing a single engine in that bird would be fatal regardless of skill, given all the drag and extra weight. Does anyone think otherwise?
-
Would be nice to have floats on a twin Beech - but all that drag and weight!
I bet you won't see Matt Younkin rolling and looping THIS D-18!

That could not have been done better. He got it to the dock perfectly.

FYI... The beech 18 floatplane will burn 46gph and will cruise at 127 kts. There is nothing fuel efficient about the beech 18
Nice video. I have gone to EAA many times, never been to the seaplane base yet. Next Year!
