A minor question, what powerplants would you use? Original, or more up to date(this is, afterall, financed by a blank signed check)Well, of course, since money (in this scenario) is not a limit for the build, I might consider having the BV238 resurrected.
The idea behind this is to cruise around the globe, stopping along the way to pick up forum friends and then it's off to South Pacific destinations like Bora Bora for extended R&R
To be honest, I'd lean toward the Allison T56 turboprop instead of trying to recreate the DB603 engines.A minor question, what powerplants would you use? Original, or more up to date(this is, afterall, financed by a blank signed check)
Resp:2? 3?
There are now 4 airworthy Mosquitos.2? 3?
Pretty funny how'd you be dropping a couple of hundred pounds in engine weight and gaining it all back in the propeller!To be honest, I'd lean toward the Allison T56 turboprop instead of trying to recreate the DB603 engines.
Reliability and power would be the main concerns.Pretty funny how'd you be dropping a couple of hundred pounds in engine weight and gaining it all back in the propeller!
Resp:Wow,. There's no way it could be just one.
I'll start with the illustrious A5M4. I love the sleek little Claude.
Then the stubby I-153. This plane was quite nimble.
The awesome He 115 is something I have loved for years.
Then there's the HS 129 tank-buster.
A sweet rarity is the Fw187 Falce
Finally, my all time favorite of the Second world war is the P-47D razorback. What can I say, my tastes are eclectic.
Resp:Ok, switching up again. XB-35. Yes, its a couple years too late but with modern tech we can solve the propellor vibration issue. Who among us wouldn't love to sit under that bubble canopy and soar through the skies in a flying wing!?

Reliability and power would be the main concerns.
The BV238 weighs nearly twice that of a B-29 (or a C-130) and was originally equipped with the limited production DB603G, which produced a max. rating of 1,874 hp versus the T56's max. of 5,912 (shaft) hp.
Plus, parts and maintenance would be much easier with the Allison.
Yes indeed!Performance would be a bit more sprightly.
