I have always been interested in aircraft powered by the ultimate piston engine, the R4360 Wasp Major....hence my attraction to the Hughes XF-11.

 

Funny how you can always tell R4360 powered aircraft just by the shape of the cowl.

It suffered a brake or NWS problem and swung to the right on his fast run, this was it pirouetting round, as you can see he has full opposite pedal on to no avail, it was turning on the stb main so I suspect a brake issue... aircraft recovered,
