One nice sounding lawn mower

I like the sound, it has that old-fasioned crackle to the exhaust note.

Doesn't that one have a P&W engine?

If it is its a very low powered one. Thing took forever to get up to speed after the takeoff.

Maybe some of the custom sound guys can add that to their sound packs.

Dam that was a beautiful sight. One of what, 3 left in the world?

There are quite a few examlpes etill around, but I think only 2 airworthy.

Thats the only one with the real Sakae engine though.

Crowd seemed awfully close. Loved the Frampton vid!

The sound is what you hear from the ground with doppler. (wonderfull).

We need also a record from inside cockpit.

Sweet! Surprisingly loud, but I guess that is what you get with straight exhaust stubs from cylinders.

You're kidding right? I think it took like 8 seconds from the time he started to roll, maybe 200-300 feet?
