Yeah, I agree, Mark12.

I thought at least the blades were barely moving if not at all before impact.

Great stuff…thats description reminds me of the Sea Fury when it did high speed passes, damn fast for a piston engine aircraft !!

But I think the La-9 is even better looking.

…..can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait…..:cool:

Just reading some of these threads, it seems the La-9 is definitely a favourite with this forum.

Just rewinding a little to that pic of the Me-110 being choppered (slung) out,…it looks like to me that the right engine was stopped before it bellied…see how only the bottom of the prop is bent…

Whatya reckon ?

Nothing in it, just an observation…….

Good stuff , Daz

I am toying with idea of making a Spitfire one next in the same way, but it will have to be a Malcolm Hood one so I can get a decent clock face.

What ya reckon ?:D

DH Fan,

Has anyone there in the UK actually heard a Nap Sabre running ?

However, that is all good news for us NZ’ers 😀

The BRH was impressive, ay,…wonder if it was as “reliable” as a Nap Sabre….:D

Darky Hanson sounds like a fascinating guy. I love the way he described the Napier Sabre.

Some prewar and postwar race cars had H pattern engines in a similar configuration to the Sabre, and even Bristol made one (an H-16)

Sorry for getting off the topc…again !!!:rolleyes:

Yes, I read that the overhaul times (which were less than 20 hours sometimes !!) rose dramatically to around 120 hours with Bristol’s sleeves installed.

This link is very interesting
