• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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
