Hello,
i guess this has all be posted before, but with the new members and the old forum gone ... this is about how to start and fly the SE5, with a good video and sound
http://thevintageaviator.co.nz/projects/se-5a-reproduction/flying-se5a
Apart from the hymn sung for the Hispano-Suiza (spanish-swiss) engine it was not that reliable in reality, there were oil problems along with breaking crankshafts - no vibration dampers back then. I take it this engine has benn improved in one or two ways, but the sound is quite original, or so i think.
There was a second engine built for the SE types, the Viper engine.
Greetings,
Catfish
