facthunter Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 They were lucky to get out of that. Closing the throttle on a radial engine at high RPM will impose loads that destroy the big end bearing which has less load on it with power on. Work it out you fella's.

facthunter Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 You should all be capable of working it out. They introduced a technique of "balanced power" (MP and revs). There are a few flying warbirds who are not aware of it and repair their engines more than necessary . and run the risk of a blow up. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
