I love how this is more old aerodrome than a set airport. Love hearing the blip switch cutting in an out.

Boy I'd love to be in control of sutch a lovely aircraft. It wasnt called a gentlemans aircraft for nothing.

Though it's hard to.imagine, but remeber, that for all its' quaint docility, and charm, this was once a deadly fighter in RFC/RAF front line service!!

For a moment, I thought they were flying the old airplanes at Meadowlark Field again. That looks just like coastal Northern California in the summer. I had to look closely to see that it's not the Livermore Valley.

great flying! What is the takeoff experience like? Did you have to hold a hard right rudder? Please come to Eagles Mere and see our S4-C

Is that a Bristol freighter, I can see on the left on the ground at 1:27 ?

That silver plane I can't tell... but the others seem to be an Airspeed Oxford, a Commonwealth Boomerang and a Wirraway standing there

correction: Omaka has an Avro Anson. So I guess that plane I took as an Oxford is the Anson.

Certainly looks like a Bristol 170 Freighter, hard to miss the flight deck bubble.

Does it steer with a wheel or a stick?

Reverend Henry Kane Oh! So..The trigger is placed there when the pilot shoots the MG?,Or he uses one hand to steer and one hand to fire at the same time to focusly lock on the target?

Pity the pilot doesn't give a commentary on what he is doing and what to avoid.

Sure! Why not just give the pilot something else to make flying harder like no throttle control!!!

The only rotary engines that couldn't have throttles were the Gnome Monosoupappe series. This was because the exhaust valve was also the air intake, while the fuel and oil was sucked in through ports at the bottom of the cylinders. Pretty much every other rotary was of a conventional design where air/fuel/oil was injected through the back of the crankshaft by a carburetor, which the rotating action of the crank case would mix and sling the mixture through induction tubes to the tops of the cylinders and be sucked into the engine through poppet valves. Early rotaries didn't have throttles because the carburetors were primitive and didn't really allow it. Later carburetor designs had proper throttles and gave many rotaries proper throttle controls, although they maintained the blip switches.

GGigabiteM The Gnome Monosoupappe series had an inlet valve in the piston crown. The fuel/air mix was drawn into the crankcase and then, through the valve, into the cylinder. The exhaust valve was operated by an external push rod.

MarsFKA Sorry but that's incorrect. The monosoupape series only had the fuel and castor oil enter through the ports at the bottom of the cylinder. The air charge was inducted through the valve at the top of the cylinder. This is why no monosoupape engine had a throttle, because it was impossible. Varying the fuel/oil mixture without varying the air charge can lead to severe engine damage. If the engine was run too lean, the cylinders could be blown off or the engine would severely overheat. Too rich and the engine would hydrolock or foul out. Variable valve timing was also tried, but the valves would burn frequently due to improper settings. The valve was a dual purpose air intake and exhaust valve using a push-pull rod operated by a complex series of guides inside the engine. This is why the valve doesn't have a return spring, because the rod both pushes the valve in and pulls it out of the cylinder.

Just a small thing, "Monosoupape" means one valve, Obviously mono means one and valve in French is soupape, amazing engineering,...love to hear the respectful and knowledgeable banter, very good, thanks
