Big ass engine

Video of the first start up of this engine that Jerry Wilcox rebuilt with some help from some of the local pilots.  Came out of a crashed TBM.  Cool toy to impress your friends.

Saw this yesterday afternoon about 5:00PM waiting to turn onto Maple Street. Wondered about it. Love the sound of those rotary engines and can't wait to hear it in person.

That was beautiful. I'm ashamed to admit to having changed spark plugs on similar engines (Canadair Argus). Wished airplanes still sounded like that.
