    I was in artillery for 24 years, I was a chief on the M109, M198 and 102 in Iraq 03to 05. We would bring in knocked out tanks and equipment from around the area so we got to see these babies up close a lotT-55s T-62's, 72's and Sadaam had a lot of French 155mm self propelled vehicles as well. I brought home a Russian gunners quadrant, brand new still in the wooden box!

    PFTR for the Jumo 109-004b engines was 150 hours... exceeding both the RAF and the USAAF 100 hour PFTR requirements for adoption into service. Operation LUSTY exhaustively tested the Messerschmitt Me-262 and confirmed TBOs averaged 55 hours... excellent by Allied piston engines standards and better than the Merlin or the R-2800.

    Why have you got this, why is this plane in America, the ME-262's did not fly to America during WWII, so the Americans definitely stole it from Germany along with the German gold train that people think is still around, somewhere but no, the German gold is in Fort Knox with the gold the Americans sole from the Japanese, remember the gold AND silver because when the Americans were loading it on the Submarine, they dropped the silver into the sea, they made a note of the position and when back and got it after the war!?

    +@carlnapp4412 Those engines were ran on an engine test rig at the turbine shop before going to the museum. My guess would be a leak, spill, or there is something the needs to be resolved. Ground testing for the plane is not complete at this time. They just did a few taxi and brake tests before the museum was closed for a while.

  • @FiveCentsPlease
    @FiveCentsPlease4 ай бұрын

    +@robertmueller2023 It did leave the factory as an R-4 in North African colors, but it was taken and reallocated to the Eastern Front. So the restoration is recreating the factory paint, and the plan was to put the final layer of Eastern Front paint on it to recreate the spots of RLM 79 desert paint that would still be visible. This Stuka is using parts from two wrecks that were salvaged from Russia many years ago.

    +@maxrpm2215 Power/thrust figures were not published that I know of, keeping with Paul Allen's non-disclosure policies with vendors. Very likely those numbers will be the same as WW2 specifications. It wasn't the goal to make a more powerful Jumo 004, just more durable. The engine shop did mention TBO times in a publication and those are estimated to be 300 hrs, vastly improved from wartime numbers.

    Thank you so much for this tour. I am a model builder and also a watchmaker. Thus I tend to build to a much higher level of detail than is usual. I was actually wanting information on how the rudder peddles mounted and articulated so I could at least give a reasonable representation in the Ju87A I am building. The ones that were being worked on are identical to those in the plane I am building and this kind of information is so hard to find.

    PLEASE TAKE NOTE: A good friend and survivor of the holocaust (who recently past away at 98 yrs of age), used to tell us horror stories about the whine of the Stuka sirens when they would attack her small town in Hungary. I think it would be best to keep your restoration project low key just like they did with the recent restoration of the ME-262 here near Seattle. Don't get me wrong, I'm a total WW-II plane nut, but now is not the right time to be tooting your horn about your Stuka restoration project and putting it on KZread and other Media. Keep in mind, the Stuka (unlike the ME-262) was specifically developed to Terrify and kill innocent people. People like my friend who survived many Stuka attacks. Restoring a Stuka is like proudly restoring an oven from Treblinka. So please, tone it down a bit... Thank You, Sincerely, Dan Sotelo Mercer Island, WA
