We normally had a GPU but the engine start selection we used was DC-6 was normally 3-4-2-1. something to do with the location of the Hydraulic pumps..... which needed to be started first so as to pressurize the systems (particularly the brakes) before all engines were running. running.

Not many of these left….Packard M 2500 v 12

 

I like this - at the beginning the guy at the controls says, "It's going to be loud, does anyone want ear protection?"  There's one guy with ear protection walking around in the background - the rest of the old coots have done this before and DIDN'T HEAR THE QUESTION!

Russischer Sternmotor – Russian Radial Engine Start And Run

This video features a Russian radial engine start-up and run of an Antonov at a traditional tractor meeting in Burkhardtsdorf. Because it was a very cold and damp morning, issues were encountered during the initial start-up.

Fortunately, it still ran quite smoothly once it warmed up a bit. The sound of the engine was deafening and typically emits a big smoke during the start-up because a huge amount of oil goes into the lower cylinder which is then burned.

Overall, it’s an awesome engine that looks and sounds amazing. Got to say, there’s nothing quite like that radial engine sound. Listening to the raw sound of this mechanical beauty gives us goosebumps. Imagine how great this would sound if one could hear it live.

Might have started better with a dummy prop on there for some inertia
