I'm in Ground school right now. My "motors" are going to be PW 4056's X 4. Airplane is 747-400. I've been flying the DC10 with GE's which I liked. The Pratt's are DEC so not much worry about "overboosting" the little puppies...

I've heard we've had pretty good luck with them on the 400. They seem to start real well in the Simulator

Somewhere I seem to remember that one pound of thrust is equal to 1 Horsepower at 300Knots. Sound right? If so then they are 56,750 HP each times 4 would be right around 226,000 HP. Hmmm. There's got to be a way to "steal" a couple of those ponies for my Cobra

Regards,
