Default RE: Everything Radial Engines

I agree the BLACK is very smart. BUT, the SILVER is functional, like a real engine, easy to see oil leaks... just as well I don't need to choose a colour. Bella, Luigi !!!

Detlef, this thread might be under Glow Engines but there have NOT been complaints about references to non-radial gassers. All of this technology is applicable to radials as well, and very interesting.

Speaking of which, could you explain what valve timing for inlet and exhaust you have chosen for your V-4? My dream is to build a radial for myself, for flying, not just display. I have the basic design done, but cannot decide on the valve timing/duration. I have the valve specs for many engines, but they vary enormously. I'm sure other members here would also be interested to see your thoughts on the subject.

Detlef, you could always start a new thread in the Glow Engines forum titled "Model Engine Exhaust Theory" or something like that and we would be happy to follow along.

Or not.

Luigi: I love the black crankcase SL150! Very sexy looking!
