Default Does ANYONE HERE actually have a AR400 radial in a plane?

I have been searching every thread I can think of that would contain "Magnum/ASP/SC AR400 Radial" to find some one who has this engine, in a model plane. I have been unsuccessful.

So, here is a direct question in the "Questions and Answers" forum.

Therefore: Does anyone have a AR400 radial mounted in an r/c plane?

If you do, please describe the model and even better post pics and/or links to it.

Thank you!

Apparently not.

Okay, how about an OS 5 cylinder radial powered airplane? Anyone got one of those?

kmot, I have flown quarter scale Concept Models kit Fleet biplane with magnum XL400 radial.
The airframe designed for 120 4st motor, so this engine make the plane too nose heavy.
I have to mount servos, receiver and battery in very tail end to balance properly.
The engine run very well, got 7000rpm with 22x8 menz wood prop, tick over 900rpm without plug heat.
It start at first flip every time. no miss on all cylinders entire flight.
It fly very well also, however I have stopped to use the engine after several flights because I do not want to have structure failure (weight of the engine is more than double and over power)

Hope this help you....Koji
