Listen to that beast. What a beautiful aircraft with a fantastically powerful radial engine. It's like music for motorheads.

I may have said this before in a comment, but that’s my dream vantage point for hearing Dreadnought start and run. It sounds great on the spectator side of the wall but some of the sound is deflected by the spinning prop. During run up I don’t know if that’s an ideal place, at least without good ear protection. And didn’t that thing jump to life! Rick Brickert said she could humble you while starting, but Sanders’ crew seem to have the touch.

@seafurycentral3744 do you own the plane? I'm super interested in what exactly happened to the engine it seems like it might have lost oil pressure and threw a couple rods?

I do not own it. Won't know the cause till it goes to the engine shop. Likely several months.

Oh dear. I wonder if this was a contributor to the engine failure. Oil pressure loss? Glad it gone down as a unit and pilot is AO-K.

I think the TBM Avenger is bigger. Not sure about any others.

@@seafurycentral3744 Wikipedia says the TBM Avenger has a R-2600-8 Twin Cyclone 14 cylinder. I think the 4360 larger 28 Cylinders. Wiki says 4360 is the largest displacement piston engine ever produced in the United States and put into service.

Standing next to the TBM, it is a larger aircraft. I thought that was your question, lol. The 4360 is the largest production engine that I know of.
