    Bulldog engine sound

    The last had some promise but too brief to be sure - they are very subwooferish.  The others were six cylinder sounds - too smooth.  The O-320 has a smooth sound but you can hear the action of it as it works.  If you can find a 'Youtube' of an actual Cherokee 140 or a Supercub/Tripacer/Pacer/Clipper/Family cruiser/super cruiser - they all had Lycoming four bangers.

    A thing I've noticed - when you select start with engine(s) running, the fuel selector is on OFF so the engine quits and you instinctively go to Shft/Ctrl/E and nothing happens.  Select a fuel tank then click the master/battery switch ON.  The starter engages and the engine fires.

    Hi Bulldog Pilot,  Any update on how this bug fix is progressing? Tks in advance

     

     

    Rode a train named after you - a long time ago.  My Bulldog had the engine faint right after loadup - tried the old 'shift control e' nothing then I noticed the fuel selector was OFF, corrected that clicked the battery and checked mags on - got a start right away.  I see by using the quote that l missed the other answers - all the same though 🙂.

    Hello there. Thanks for the comments, the sounds we gathered during development of the Bulldog was a bit limited since (covid). So we couldn't get any sound samples (we're open to improvement on this if someone was able to work with us to source some).

     

    The installation is fairly standard for most SASL planes, and instructions should be in the manual. Would be open to hearing which bits were difficult/confusing so we can improve on that.

    I believe the Piper Cherokees through the early Arrow used the Lyc 4 cylinder also PA18 PA22 - later Skyhawks use it too.  If you read the manual first, the installation is simple - however, as a creature of habit, I failed the first try.

    Just purchased this little jewel and my only criticism is the engine sound.  The Bulldog had a Lycoming 4 cylinder O-360 or O-200 which had a distinctive 4-banger sound - rode behind one for twenty odd years.  Your engine sounds like at least six cylinders with a bit of a deisel thrown in.  Another thought - since your installation is a bit different, some kind of pre-advisory would be good.
