72modeler Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Outstanding! Beautiful restoration, too! Sounds a lot like a Merlin at speed. Thanks so much for posting the video, but it can't be a real '109 as all of the fuselage stations aren't inked in! I would love to see and hear any Bf-109 variant fly. 👍 Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Wow! Thanks for posting, put a smile on my face I've seen the restored "Red 7" (G-4 rebuilt from Buchon) at an airshow and the noise is something else. It's the supercharger whine that really does it. Goosebumps indeed. I'm very glad these guys are working on more restorations, there are very few 109s around! From what I can gather, this is an actual restored G-6 that crash-landed in 1944, as opposed to a rebuilt Buchon. Am I right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's correct and as you say its great to see some more DB605 powered machines flying Here's some info from Pete's link: WNF produced G-6, flown by Lt Schulte, crashed on May 29th 1944 near Melk/Austria. The wreck was recovered and the Austrian Michael Rinner started to restore it in 2007. In 2013, the project was bought by Air Fighter Academy in Zirchow/Germany and the restoration was fully finished (I think) in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnAndersen Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Very nice video. Also love the sound of that kind of engine, but did you notice the black exhaust when he poured on the coal? Something that has been mentioned again and again in accounts from WW2. /Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that has been mentioned again and again in accounts from WW2. /Finn I'm just guessing here, but this was in the days before electronic fuel injection, so I'm thinking when the throttle was applied quickly to the gate, the injection pump dumped a lot of fuel into the intake manifold, causing a very rich mixture momentarily until the rpm built up enough to allow the engine to handle the air/fuel mixture- this would cause a sooty black exhaust due to the excess unburned fuel. Carbureted or fuel injected autos that are running too rich exhibit the same symptoms and the inside of the tailpipe will have a soft black sooty coating.

The DB605 engine has direct fuel injection (as far as I was told), so what we are seeing is just that the engine gets an excess of fuel, i.e. what amounts to a rich mixture. But the point were that a lot of WW2 pilots has mentioned this as a fact when chasing ME109's Edited October 7, 2018 by FinnAndersen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
