Too Cool Dave!
Thanks!

The model certainly sounds great at startup, takeoff, and in flight. But the use of the takeoff RPM sound during taxi makes it sound more like a turboprop than a recip.

I am going to try to get some good audio of an R-2800 in some of the mid range RPM sounds to send to Thomas Benedini www.benedini.de/ and see if he can incorporate them into the audio chip and tie them to the proportional throttle position on the transmitter.

I have an Advnced Scale Models ARF of the 76" P-61 Black Widow that I am converting into the prototype P-61E escort fighter version and if the improvements in the range of the audio are made they would make the impression of reality over the entire RPM range simply awesome.

I am trying to decide whether or not to get a couple of these sound units to help me to attain immortality among my flying buddies by building and flying the most realistic model airplane ever.

Here is the shorter version of the P-47 flight video off the Thomas Benedini website:

...and the Corsair with only one small speaker.

This appears to have been videoed out at Barnstaple in Devon on the west end of the Bristol Channel on the now closed airport cum air sea rescue station where Chris Golds, the prolific electric scale airplane designer, does his flying.
