A twin doubles the chances of loosing one.Nah, cost is less than double. Unreliability/downtime is probably up 3x though.

I haven’t seen that picture before. What an epic shot. Is there a high-resolution version available, so I get it blown up to the size of my hangar wall?

Arguably one of the coolest planes ever built, especially so because it actually saw legit service, wasn't just a test prototype that did a few flights and was scrapped.. I got that photo fron CNET, there's a guy there, Geoffrey Morrison who has a bunch of cool B36 stuff

Maybe ping the author?

I had to wire 8 thermocouples for my 4-cylinder IO-390’s CHT and EGT probes. I’m going to take a hard pass on any project involving 168 cylinders.
