ChairmanoftheBORED Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 I don't recall registry in CA as part of the original question. Who cares? There is a twin engine piston called the Mil 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 C of the B, Kyle''s question pertained to selling A/C in Canada whether it be used or new, as CTD pointed out there is no certification for the Mil so why even put under a "For Sale" category. Maybe he could list in www.bigbucklawnornaments.com for those who have the cash. Cheers R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Thanks for the replies, guys. It was actually for world-wide since we do allow International listings of aircraft for sale. I knew I had seen a dual-piston somwhere - we have one for sale at: http://www.usaviation.com/aircraft/display...d=2047&tree=302 I have it listed under a turbine spec page for now and will decide at a later time (if required) if I should release a twin-engine spec page for "Helicopters" (that''s for you, CTD) however I doubt it since they are obviously pretty rare. Thanks, again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinger Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 There is a twin piston... Well I'll be a Monkey's Mother's Brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChairmanoftheBORED Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 And its not a '58 model either.... Its a 1990, which makes it quite a youngster in comparison to the ageing fleet most of us fly. They are actually a pretty good machine that a few friends of mine have had the priviledge to try. Personally, I am hanging out for the Mil 26 Thanks for that Kyle. Good luck with the ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cap Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 CTD ---- there are also some twin-engined aircraft that are certified in Canada and shouldn't be. I refer you to the S-62. Figuring out when the s.o.b was going to go back to idle without warning, was like trying to figure out when your wife's water was going to break when she was pregnant. Sorry 'ol bean, I just couldn't resist that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTD Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 OK I give up. As we say in good-ole Newfoundland, "When 10 people tell you you''re drunk, LIE DOWN" So, piston twins it is then. All three of them Hey Mr. Chairman... I got to fly the Mi-26 in 1993, and it is one of the true highlights of my career. Also got a crack at the Mi-17. Cap, I don''t know either feeling - I guess I''ll have to trust you on that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cap Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 CTD ---- so then the only thing you know about ''water breaking'' is when you have a bunch of ''brewskis'' and have to head to the Men''s Washroom. Is that what you are saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downwash Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 I can understand how all these sprogs are lacking good gen, Cap, but surely you remember the Sikorsky S-56 (or H-37 ''Mojave''). It was a honkin'' big bird with a schnoz similar to the 55''s and 58''s, and the engines were on high sponsons on each side and, in turn, supported the main landing gear. Here are some specs: Rotor diameter: 21.95 m Length: 19.76 m Height: 6.71 m Weight: Empty: 9386 kg Max: 15000 Engine: Two P&W R-2800 Double Wasp - 2100 hp each Speed: Max: 209 km/h Range: Max 233 km Service Ceiling: 2652 m First heavy Sikorsky, could carry up to 36 troops How''s that for a twin piston?!? The 56 was famous for burning ''more oil than fuel.'' Those sweet old Pratts just didn''t like that particular installation, I guess. Knew a couple of guys that flew them while on exchange with the US Army - Dooley Ross was one, for those that remember him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 I thought the S-62 was the smaller single engined little brother of the Sea-King, that the USCoast Guard used? Single T-58 engine. I''ve seen the S-56, what a brute! Would have been fun to wiggle the throttles on that one for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
