At 1:39 its at takeoff speed, before that its warm-up and taxi on runway.

  • @racertwo It's not mine but if memory serves this prop is a one of a kind for now, made especially for this installation.

    I may be able to contact the owner for you and see what can be done.

    And to those who only seen these engines in the cartoons I can tell you that the original prop would never turn with the engine on that trolley because the three (originally metal) blades is some 8 or so feet across.

  • Hi, great to see another Leonides running, I have now sold mine which is on here several times, I am interested in your 4 blade prop for my next engine, do you have another ?
