That is so cool Wayne! While watching the video, I was thinking whoa next comes the just right ultra light airplane. Then saw the model planes that they are used in.
We have some expertiese in that sport, right in your area, Here on PP OT. What are your plans for the new toy? Cheers Richard |

That is neat. I'd drive the distance to see and hear it run.

Careful Wayne, next stop is a full sized radial with an airplane attached to it. Then a visit to your local flight school...

Older airplanes did run a straight 6 engine... Hope no one puts their hand (or worse) into that prop on the radial engine. It would not be good for either of them...

So Wayne, what is the story of these engines? Is there some mad engineer with a very tooled up home shop turning these out?
I really like the radial, beautifully crafted. Cheers Richard |

Wayne if you like the round engines visit vintage v12's in tahachapi. Besides the usual Wrights and P & W's there are Bristol Centaurus sleeve valve radials, BMW 801's. In the inline side you can see the usual merlins, and griffins plus there is a Daimler Benz DB601 inverted V. Everyone is very nice, they gave me a tour of the works. Hopefully they will have one of these monsters on the test stand, very impressive.

What that radial needs to really finish it off is twin fifty-calibers (in scale) timed to shoot through the prop.
