Title: Most engines running at Brodaks
Post by: Jim Kraft on June 26, 2010, 11:12:26 AM: OK guys; Maybe I missed it some where, but did they do the most engines running thing? How many did you get running? Was it loud? Was this posted somewhere and I missed it?

If you got enough of them going it might be interesting to compare the smoke to prop inch ratio...

Noisy is an understatement! If I ran six at once, the whole town would have heard.
I totally agree - one of the noisiest engines ever.

Post by: ChrisSarnowski on July 06, 2010, 06:58:36 PM: We'll just have to get this started at the local level. Maybe unofficial to start the ball rolling.

Probably could use the number of official flights as a record, too. Number of PA patterns flown at a contest.

People do crazier things for records all the time. Over the weekend they set a record for the Zombie march again.

Post by: ChrisSarnowski on July 09, 2010, 05:59:27 AM: I was watching some youtube video last night of the 2010 Flyin and I think the scale guys set the current record at 11 engines. The WWII flight had:

2x Four engine bombers
1x Two engine model
1x One engine P-51

At first I thought it was going to be the BiSlob flight or the Junkyard wars group flight but the scale guys smoked them.
