  • Does this aircraft still have a Centaurus engine? They turned a five-blade propellor, but I see only four in this clip.

  • @MarsFKA It has a Wright R-3350 turning an Aeroproducts four blade propeller. also found on the skyraider.

  • @airplaneboy10 Is this a common transplant for the US-based Sea Furies? I guess spares for the Centaurus engine must be in short supply by now.

  • @MarsFKA Yea, the 3350 is very close in size to the Centaurus, so it's pretty easy to fit in the cowling without any modification of the outward appearance. Most US Furies are 3350's. The giveaway is the prop.

  • sorry, i wrote the description kinda quick. Yes, the SX300 is chasing the sea fury
