May include a vfr limitation as I recall but don’t remember why. Could the airplane itself be vfr only? Except what’s the ceiling? Are those original design engines? Quote
carusoam Posted February 23, 2021 Report Posted February 23, 2021 Gents, let’s not get too excited about authenticity... The BMW engines seem to have been replaced with a pair of more reliable, modern jets... 2 GE CJ-610 Turbo Jets Where’s the fun in that? Sounds pretty scary either way... Kind of a modern scary house at Halloween, for adults... go for it! PP thoughts only, not an aviation historian... Best regards, -a- Quote

Best regards, -a- I was wondering - since those original BMW engines must have been the absolute most cutting edge experimental turbo fan engines. I mean the piston engines of the era had gotten pretty refine by then - I mean who doesn't love a 1650 Merlin? But a gen-1 jet engine? The airframe though must have been much more refined by the time they built this thing. I have a vague memory that those wings were wooden. Is that right? Quote

Are those original design engines? No. The original engines never worked; one reason the Germans never made effective use of the plane. Now has CJ engines. 1 Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted February 23, 2021 Report Posted February 23, 2021 I have had numerous offers for jet warbird type ratings, for fuel. About 10k. My CB roots are powerful. Quote
Planegary Posted February 23, 2021 Report Posted February 23, 2021 I remember when replicas of the Messerschmitts were built .is this a replica or a reengined original and after the crash of the Collings foundation B17 are they still doing this? I was in Worchester recently and most of their planes had been removed and all had been grounded.Does anybody know where all of the replicas are now ?I believe they were being built by a man named Herb Tischler until some problem (business problem or maybe a death) happened. I believe this was in the early 90'S Quote
