DAK MAN If as you say that a C47/DC-3 cannot fly on one engine, it must mean that all the C47/DC-3's left in the world have never suffered an engine failure during there total flying time. I have flown them with 50k Hrs TT ...........Wow that is some safety record for the P&W R1830 engine.
I wonder what my buddie who has been overhauling R1830's since 1972 that are sent into him failed condition has really been up to? Do you think he might have been smoking the same grass as you? If you knew the C47/DC-3 you would never utter such false, purile nonsense.
411A I have no idea where you got your C47/dc-3 rating but it was a bad place and you should ask for your money back. Who ever told you that a C47/DC-3 with no HYD pressure would have the gear extend either never did a proper C47/DC-3 type rating or was smoking something maybe like DAK MAN while attending such.
