Nice, but I was expecting a FW-190 for some reason.

The new engines were run Wednesday and it should be taxing early next week

Why were the engines replaced? I didn't think any of the 262 replica's had been around that long to warrant replacing the engines. Did they suffer from FOD or something?

Is this the Collings Foundation ME 262.

Yes this is the Collings airplane.

The original engines were nonpapered J-85s. Yes, at least one of them exhibited evidence of previous FOD damage.

The aircraft now has CJ610-8As, with records, and current hot sections installed.

Yeah, me too. BMW 801! I haven't checked the website in a bit to check progress...

Guess they did what they had to do to get that 1st one up.

Cool,
How long till we see it running with the big rigs?
Are we still planning on FEB?

That engine inlet duct is amazing, the mule isnt.

I see that the engines have a D-ring pull in the nacelles. Do these replicas have the 10HP starter motor on board and do they function as they were originally designed? Is that the noise that is being heard at the beginning of the vid?

replica


original Jumo 004 w/ Reidel motor displayed


The Me262 is a beautifully lethal Venus Di Milo.

I wonder how much airtime White 1 got with the first owner?

The D-ring in the inlet of the replica is just for looks, no 2 stroke motor installed. The engine noise in the video before the turbine starts is the GPU running.
