Ed,
The SA-16 Albatross built by Grumman is a huge amphibian
capable of open sea landings, powered by a pair of Wright R-1820 engines turning
the same direction. One big muther.
By the way, you are one fortunate guy. That antifreeze
that was used to put out your brake fire, well, it has a flash point of
220-260 degrees F, depending on where you look.

Static Engine RPM
No familiar with the SA-16, Bob, but are both props turning same
direction or opposite - would make a significant difference in whether there
is a swirl (my spell checker says OK {:>)) effect or not. If in
opposite directions then I would agree, if both props rotating in same
direction then harder to say.
