Tim, what\'s \"spray bar water\"?


Ahh..grasshopper. Click on this link here,

A presentation from the man himself Pete Law, and absolute legend in air racing. Without the additional cooling, and Unlimiteds engine will suffer catastrophic failure in a matter of seconds. It is the systems that have led to most of the engine failures over the years, not something acutally breaking in the motor. Strega seems to have a very robust system, it\'s amazing. In this picture from the left is Pete Law, Tiger-Strega\'s owner, and Bob Button-Voodoo\'s owner.






You have to look real close, but in this pic you can see the spraybar water coming out of both of Dreadnoughts wings. A normal Sea Fury only will have it in one wing, but with a 28 cylinder R-4360, it needs additional cooling.
