homefire 2,579 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Crazy Germans! That thing weighs more then the legal limit of a Ultra Light plane. Imagine flying in your mining supplies with something like that? Link to post Share on other sites
azblackbird 203 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Man oh man I love the sound of those motors! Almost sounds as good as the real ones... http://youtu.be/VOlyC6YEtvM Link to post Share on other sites
homefire 2,579 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I was surprised the Engines only put out 25HP each. 5 cylinders radial and I was thinking they would do more then that. My Altra Light had a Guyana 500 four cylinder that put out 34HP. Just a Snow mobile engine . But that would so cool on a Altra Light with the Sound an all. Link to post Share on other sites
El Dorado 964 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yeah, the props have a winey sound, but you can still hear the sound of a real round motor....... Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 3,086 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 That is very cool, I love the sound of those engines as well, I think it would sound better once they get the scaled props finished and installed, it says on the YouTube description that they have scaled props under construction...."Propeller: Fuchs 35x13 Carbon (scale props under construction)"...those carbon fiber props just won't sound the same as the true scaled props will. That all being said it will never sound like the real B-25, they had 2 14 cylinder radial engines (Wright R 2600 engine), sorta hard to get the same sound with only 5 cylinders. I think they need to install on-board cameras!! I'll have to keep an eye on their YouTube channel for future videos. Link to post Share on other sites

Rimshot 181 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 That was cool! I watch the 1st video after the B-25 and thought the jets were really cool too. Big commercial jets almost sound like the real McCoys. Link to post Share on other sites

jarrod 12 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I love the sound of both gas and electric here's my electric P47 Thunder Bolt. prop sound is killer and the shoot gun range next door kinda make's for a real sound too. One of my last flights before getting in to prospecting and my last build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOzqQsOC2BQ Link to post Share on other sites
El Dorado 964 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 That P-47 sounds wicked..... Link to post Share on other sites
