Look what Dr. Ralph Barnette has made.

1911 Caudron with a Four Banger X type Radial.

That's purty. I need to get with him again. I wonder how a radial built around AP cylinders would work?

SW, the sound made must be incredible! I would like to see drawings of the innards. Amazing that there are people out there who can crank this stuff out!

I havn't heard the 4 but have seen and heard his 5.
My 3 sounds really loud @11k and really kool when idling. Has the Plap Pklappity Splaph Phlapp sound at around 3K

Hey Steve,

Have you written some books under the name Dr. Seuss??

That is really nice, one of my favourite early airplane types

Looks like it is maybe based on the old Henry Struck design.

Does it need the 4 cylinder engine to fly? The three cylinder would be more prototypical as it had the 3 cylinder Anzani engine.

In any respect, I bet it will be real purrty flying about with a multi cylinder engine.

cheers, Graham in Embrun near Ottawa Canada

That is very cool. Actually beyond cool. Did you build the airframe from scratch or plans?

The tri-cylinder would look great on the Eastbourne for which I still have yet to make room on the work bench. How much do his engines go for?

Now I HAVE to make room for the Eastbourne and finish the build thread.

Sorry, most excellent all around Ralph! My hat's off to you. Most here are probably familier with your engines but can you tell me a bit about the aircraft? And maybe a bit about your engines as well? :-)

I built the engine as a twin then I saw a picture of the Caudron in a English magazine and rebuilt it as a X radial . I scaled the airplane to the engine size, WS 38" airframe weight less engine and radio 10-1/2 oz, covered with worldtex. I hope it fly`s slow.
