Default RE: Everything Radial Engines

That's true but I guess I'm saying that if it were done today it would almost have to be electronic ignition and not a mechanical distributor. I have not seen any 7-Cylinder GAS engines. Personally I think that they would sell more GAS engines if they had a 7-Cylinder. I don't think it's as workable because your cylinders are much closer together which will generate a lot more heat. I think that's why we don't see them. Heat is an issue.

PS,

Very cool TechnoPower engine. Mark should be giving you extra special service.

In a way it makes me sad that TechnoPower moved out to Califormnia. I love Ohio, and that was another cool little business we had here that I could checkout as I walked around Chagrin Falls. Of coure this was after I stopped at the Water Fall and got myself an icecream at Baskin-Robbins.
