RE: Everything Radial Engines

Wow, that is a major bummer for sure. My condolences go out to the owner of it. It is a shame it died.

RE: Everything Radial Engines

It is amazingly smooth. In the videos I made, the little fuel tank jar does not even jiggle any when the engine is running, even at WOT. The three cylinders actually balance each other out quite...

RE: Everything Radial Engines

You know that 62% giant Stearman brought back memories of people wanting me to do their maiden flights on their planes in the past. I sorta got where I hated to do it, as if something went wrong with...
