RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz

Let's say this is a good answer. The training videos I have state that maximum allowable bucket wheel RPM is 18,250. The light you speak of starts to blink at 18,000 RPM, a warning, and is solid at...

RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz

OK, I'll try again. On the P-47, (a) what was the maximum safe RPM for the turbocharger (according to pilot training), and (b) how was this regulated.

RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz

Wow, you guys are good. That is exactly right. It was thought to be an unnecessary risk to run on only batteries during the training, which would be the case with the left engine dead.

RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz

RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz
