Hey Guys
Some of you are asking about the RPM and whether it is too high. The Guys at the factory only have a test stand and airplane to run the engine on. This gives good info on parts...

The B-36 sounds good but in a realistic sence, I would kinda like to build a B-25. I just don't know if I am still that ambitious, LOL! Maybe when we get the Twin Wasp 18 cylinder engines ready, it...

Hi Guys
I haven't been on the sight for a while. Things are winding down and the engine gets closer every day to being a final production design. I have invested quite a lot of time building what...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

Hi Guys
Something I didn't mention, concerning the sound of a radial engine, is a radial has a master connecting rod that runs of the center of the crankshaft journal. All the other connecting...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

Hi jymster
I couldn't agree with you more. The sound of a jet is awesome but can't compare with the sound of a big radial engine! Actually the sound that we all like so much comes from...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

Hi Guys
Well, it is getting close now. I will start assembling my R9 tomorrow with the latest revisions. We are thinking about making one more revision and that should be it. Although the R9...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

Thanks Guys for all your input! As I said, I have a little while before I need an airplane and will choose something as a test bed. I am a real fan of the Sukhoi and may choose one to act as the...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

A big Stearman would be great but in real life the R2800 would squash the Stearman. The Stearman's engine made about 225 HP and the R2800 made about 1750 Hp, LOL! But I have to agree it would...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

Believe it or not, some of the less expensive airplanes fly quite well but don't look so hot as for scale fidelity! I am building an exact scale F8F-2 Bearcat for the final home of the R9 that I am...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

Hey Guys, anyone know of a good 1/5th scale Hellcat or Bearcat ARF? I have been searching the Internet but haven't found what I am looking for. I don't want to give in the thousands of dollars for...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

Hi Gary, I remember the first time I saw a model powered by a miniature jet turbine engine. The look was awesome, the speed was very impressive but the sound was out of this world! It was just like...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

I will build a scale header system for my Bearcat instead of using the stock collector ring. As it is a 9 cylinder, I will run two exhaust pipes into one to make 4 pipes out each side. The two I...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

I am designing my Bearcat to also accept the 400cc P&W R9/2800 Twin Wasp (18 cylinder) that will be coming out later. The cowl dimensions will be virtually the same but the power and torque will be...

I assume you are in Australia? Here is the deal, we have a couple of concerns with the R9. We have made the revisions to the design to correct those concerns and have sent them to...

WOW, you sound a lot like me! There is no sound on earth like the sound of a fighter plane, with a large radial engine, on a low, full throttle pass down the runway. You are right...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

Hi Guys, first I would like to address the comments on the splined crankshaft. This crank is very strong and the splines are large. As for impact loads (crash) the crank and splines can substaine...

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

RE: Pratt & Whitney 1/5 scale radial engine for warbirds

Hi, I know what you mean about being bummed, we are too! The problem in pricing a product, that has over 600 parts in it, is the cost we have to pay to our many suppliers. Sometimes we are at their...

RE: CUSTOM PAINTING

Looks Great! So did Chief contract you to do a special paint scheme for them? I am really eager to get back into doing some air brush work. Not for hire anymore but rather on my own models. Joe

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

You may be right! I never thought about the color scheme although the star burst on my plans are very prototypical of early 80s star burst used on Super Decathlons. This is my favorite version on...
