Yes, I thought the sights and sounds were too cool not to share. I liked the sounds best of all. Too many modelers have heard mostly model engines run and thus have no basis of comparison when they say, "sounds just like the real plane". I hope WWI buffs will come away from this posting with a better understanding of what a real WWI plane might sound like.

Especially significant for me was the realization that not all rotary engines sound alike. Throttling by use of interrupted ignition sounds entirely different from throttling by use of intake restriction. As far as making a model sound like a full size plane with interruptor ignition, I think the only practical way may be through a "sound system". The technology today is probably insufficient to be considered accurate, but one can always hope for improvements in the future.
