Jens, thank you so much!

Cheers,
Maarten
 
Sooo..why was it when I looked at the first picture, I thought I was looking at at a DC-4? Classy looking airplane.

OBIO
 
Hmm, was just there, missed this one somehow. Thanks for the catch.

So much stuff being reuploaded you need a sharp eye to see the new stuff. :banghead:
 
OBIO, may I quote from the MAAM C-47 checklist?

CAUTION: Over-priming can cause hydraulic lock of lower cylinders.
*Magnetos - BOTH
*Starter Switch - ENGAGE (for 8 blades)
*Vibrator Switch - ENGAGE
*Mixture - AUTO-RICH (when engine starts)
[FS: Mixture was moved to FULL RICH when fuel booster pump was turned on.]
NOTE: If engine stalls, mixture is moved back to IDLE-CUTOFF, while continuing to crank engine. Restart is then attempted using the above procedures.
CAUTION: If engine backfire ignites excess fuel, open throttle wide and keep engine turning over with starter. This will cause fire to be drawn into the combustion chamber of the cylinder and out through the exhaust.
*Oil Pressure - CHECKED
*Throttles - 1000 to 1200 RPM
CAUTION: Avoid prolonged idling below 800 RPM

Hope this helps... :d

Yes, the Russkies copied the B-29 right down to the flaws. It was some years before they made 'improvements' but I can't help but wonder if they stole those, too.:kilroy:

But maybe a twin radial propliner must look this way?

I would have to look twice to distinguish a Convair 240/340/440 from a Martin 2-0-2/4-0-4...

You're pretty much correct, Wild Bill. There are still quite a few IL-14's flying in the Third World and I can tell you from overhead photography they are hard to distinguish from Convairs except the Ilyushin's fuselage is kinda chubby compared to a Convair. But I still gotta believe the vertical stabilizer on the IL-14 was copied from the C-47/DC-3. Maybe it was Friday afternoon and the Ilyushin designers decided screw it, let's go to Happy Hour. :d

And today trying to contact the File library (link above) brought an error message:

Something broke...
Regrettably, a database error has occurred. We won't be able to do what you've asked right now.
Please contact the Library Staff, telling them exactly what you did to cause this error.

Anyone else got the same?

Pekka
 
Yes I keep getting that error message. It makes me feel like I was the one that broke it when all I did was click on a link.
 
looks like AVSIM is down again.......can they catch a break or what?
 
Jens, Day before yeaterday, I loaded an IL-14 with Cuban cigars, rum and fresh fruit, then flew it from Matrii International to Cozumel, Mexico, to supply the American tourists.

Your plane was simply a dream to fly.

Thank you.
