As an acoustic designer I would affix resonance chambers to the nacelles to create a sound an octave lower. I don't care how much that messes with the design. I remember the Boeings flyng in and out of LAX in the early fifties and they sure didn't sound like this. Yes, B-29s in the fifties, what a surprise. The sound of the Gee-Bee is amazing.
I agree that a lower pitch would sound more realistic. Those 2 bladed props seem to disappear when running giving the illusion of no props at all. None the less a beautiful model. Kudos to the builder. Along with seeing the B-29's in the early fifties did you ever see one of the B-50's?
@@allegheny48 - Everything came in and out of LAX in the fifties - military, civilian, it didn't matter so I probably saw a B-50 or two except I have no idea what a B-50 looks like. I like propeller airplanes.
@@dennismason3740 The B-50 was basically a souped up more highly refined B-29 with larger engines requiring a more aerodynamic nacelles, wing mounted fuel pods and a much larger vertical stabilizer to name a few. They were a very handsome aircraft.
@@allegheny48 - Thank you. I will check it out. My dad was a B-29 bombardier in 1945. Apparently the Nordon bombsight was the most advanced analogue computer in the day. He left in 1955 so we never really talked.

I never seen one - I grew up in East Germany (DDR) - Russian planes only in that place!
Fred
What year was this and how much did the model weigh?
I’m not gonna lie, that first landing looked very scary

Rotated too soon and then suffered a tail strike. Fortunately these things are a lot cheaper to repair than the real ones 😊
I am happy: you watched more than one time - thank you!

Only nine-foot airmen were allowed to start the prop on the full-scale Twenty-Niners.
Interesting bamboosa!

@@ScaleJetFred - these are beautiful films of beautiful machines without horrible music. Thank you.
@@dennismason3740 I have made changes for the future Dennis - thank you.
@@ScaleJetFred You're welcome.
The full scale planes engine centerline was 10 feet from the ground. 30 foot men would be more like it.
