I’m no expert on Fw190s but weren’t they all inline from the D onwards?
Same with the non-expertise of Fw190’s but I think these were Ta-152 models.

Ah yes that’s the one.
Lovely shot.
Thanks, Alex.

Yeah, who are you, John
and when are you comin’ to NZ with your Crazy friend from Maine ?
TNZ
Very nice !!!!!!
Going to give you a thread rating for those pics !!!
Cheers

Ah but the water isn’t in a radial pattern on the windows……
TNZ
(Nice pics BTW)
Oh nice pics, thanks Gary.
The T-28 makes an unusual noise for a Radial.
Apparently this is attributed to the 3+3+3 design of the exhaust stacks.
Loved seeing the T-28 at Wanaka this year, beautiful aircraft.

(now does CM approve of these or do THEY need an inline too???). 😀 😮
I spent hours looking for the radiator on a Cessna L-19 once.
Must have been shot away.

I reckon if Crazymainer believes that the Cessna Bird-Dogs are water-cooled, then he must be smokin’ some good stuff from Maine…. :diablo:
TNZ :dev2:
I detect a little biasedness of Crazymainer….no ..truly honest !! I do !!!
😀
TNZ
PS I Love those new “water-cooled” Continentals of the O-1 Bird-Dog …. 😮
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The O-2, A-37, T-37, and T-50 are the Cessnas of the Warbird Community.
…and don’t forget the O-1…
There’s a couple down here that are genuine warbirds (ie Korea, Vietnam).
TNZ 🙂
Ahh,…think this one is beyond myself, CM.
I like looking and guessing old aircraft.
That Pietenpol Air-Camper I am going to build one day (getting the plans very soon), will end up in Stearman-style US Navy colours.
TNZ
..and how does a big round air-cooled engine sound like and purr like a 27 litre V-12 ?
I reckon half of the magic of the Spitfire is it’s Merlin noise….
Radial engine = all gone !!!!
TNZ
Jet engine tuning has become a very “enLightning” experience…..
TNZ
Did some research…again !!!
The hard part of your quiz with the last aircraft was the fact that Curtiss and Martin produced this aircraft. Douglas only designed and made the DT-2.
Martin called it the SC-1

Curtiss called it the CS-1

The whole time I was looking under Douglas. I didn’t think to look to other manufacturers for producing the same model.
Guess it’s like Vought and Goodyear for the Corsair.

Thanks for that, CM.
Was going stircrazy !! 😀
Anyhow, I knew it was a derivative of the DT-2, the family resemblance is definitely there.
BRING ON # 8
tnz….. 🙂
Well, I”ve totally exhausted my US Navy Douglas Biplane research….
I give up !!!
(I hate saying that…. :rolleyes: )
What is the Douglas Biplane, CM ?
