You know it was built by the Germans when it was still working after 80 years!

Take good care of her.

Der gefürchtetste Kämpfer des zweiten Krieges

She doesn’t sound very well...seems she’s pissed 😬😅...

thanks for sharing i love it

How great is the idle run ...spectacular engine ..

The same as it was when running on German B4 (87 octane) fuel since they're running the same boost pressures.. 1.3 ATA = around +4.27 PSI for 1100 hp.

That's a really good question, and I have no idea. I'll pass the question along, though.

No, she was having some issues that day. Stayed up long enough to make a formation pass with the two Spits then came in to land.

I know those engines are direct injection, but that one smokes more than an old diesel

indeed some spark plugs are miss firing ,

She didn't sound too happy on the runup...

Of course! :-) Search my channel for Battle of Britain Day 2011. One of these day's I'll sort playlists according to aircraft type.

Emil :)

Pretty sure that’s an E4? Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the E3 have a more curvy and thinner bezzled canopy when the E4 and upwards canopies were more square like?

Incredible, but the shielding cabin looks like an E-4 model, hevier than the E-3.

Sexiest airplane ever build =)

Cold blooded old girl....I think the miss is a fouled plug from not getting a clean first startup.

Any idea how much more HP this Db-601 has with American Avgas?

Poor old girl has a cylinder misfiring!
