Gnome running

Ran the Gnome again today, found a bad ground in the left mag and now it's running just right,
YouTube- 1918 Gnome rotary engine running





Then flew my Taylorcraft to a friend's airstrip and another friend let me drive his unrestored 1914 2 cylinder IHC-

That is one sweet running engine. I do not know if it is the recording quality or not, but that engine sounds so smooth and with a deeper more ballsy sound than any of the rotaries I've ever heard. Just wonderful.

OBTW - I love your friend's hangar. Where is that?

Wonderful engine!

Just noticed this update, glad to see you got it fixed! Need more original engines in the air, thats for sure!!

And equally glad to see nobody tried to stand behind it while wearing a hat this time, too.
