Default RE: Everything Radial Engines

Hi Ross G,from looking at the exploded view of the Saito325 and the Saito450,it looks like the 325 has the extra gear between the crank shaft and the cam gear,whereas the 450 3cyl with it's slimmer crankcase drives direct from crank to cam gear,like single cyl Saito's.Don't need to worry about those extra five gears yet,I still have not run the engine,the only aircraft I have that will fit the 325 in the cowl is a Pitts Pithon sold by Dolphin Co. here in Australia,but I had this aircraft earmarked for an MVVS58.While not being as "3d" capable with the Saito,it sure would sound great,Mark.
