There was a P2 at last years Kemble bob display cant for the life of me remember the details/operator.Always used to like Lyndsay Waltons 108 baddie and of course Gary Numans “jap” Harvard G-AZSC now at Goodwood.
Hi Lincoln 7- last week we were at Old Warden (great forum members pics under the photographic section) our next event will be Kemble June 18/19th all events listed here- http://www.an2club.info cheers.
Just to clarify yes An2 is four blade.With the prop in a x configuration when static we attach a “top hat” to the oil drain (just visible in pic in front of oil cooler) which stops accumalation in the bottom cylinders.Before EACH start we then pull blades through to check that there is not a hydraulic lock before closing the oil drain valve.Great as a parking marker because any oil that misses the top hat kills the grass below!When people see us prop pushing the stock answer when asked what we are doing is… “winding up the elastic band!”
we always pull through 36 blades better to be safe than sorry! Also the blades are numbered and must always be left with no1 visible at 45 degrees from the captains window therefore the a/c is always left with the prop in a x position NOT with a blade pointing vertically down.
There was a very good interview with Robin Gibb (of Bee Gees Fame) on BBC Breakfast News this morning he has been doing sterling work for the cause,and as you say long overdue.
