Hi guys,

On another forum, in which people discuss about the recent announcement of Aerosoft Antonov An-2, somebody posted that video showing the startup procedure of that plane.
Honnestly, the pilot made me think directly about my first attempts to start the P-47 (the AN-2 has an inertial starter too). Seriously, this plane has "Accusim" written all over it....



*cough*and a float version exists, too*cough*

Thats a great vid Daube...An-2 would be excellent plane for A2A.

Here is another one with some good sounds...looks like pilot is operating a hand pump(fuel pump?) in the beginning. Listen to that big engine slowly cough to life 8)

The hand pump is the fuel wobble pump, same deal as with the P-40. :)

The second video has indeed a great sound ! I wish the engine of the Accusim P-47 would start like that 8)
