@@claytoncollins2212 No worries, when they are this old I don't much expect anyone to pay attention except for someone taking a look after me. When it is something that I appreciate and right up my alley it is worth it to me and others with similar interest. If it made it into a plane I'm not sure it would be any more fun. A Moki would be cool to me now, just love the way these little radials sound. Something else around now that wasn't back then and a little cheaper than some of these little radials is the new Toyan V8. they were on sale not to long ago for $1300. Another thousand for run kit and supercharger. They too sound amazing with ok Chinese quality but have to convince myself that a 3hp 28cc V8 motor is worth the expense for the cool factor and my occasional smile. Even tho hobbies bring happiness I have to be a little responsible to keep my house from falling apart around me. lol

@@plap. The Toyan engines are really cool but for me machining has not been just my career it's my passion. To me taking bar stock and machining it into something is very satisfying and that's where the fun is. And with larger projects that take a long time to complete the cost is spread out over the length of project. I am currently machining a Stuart Oilfield Pump (pump Jack). The castings and drawings came from England and the drawings are a little challenging with errors and all the dimensions are in fractions. But all in all still a lot of fun.

Oil in the lower cylinders can be a problem. Before I start the engine I pull the lower spark plugs and drain any oil that has collected in them. When I start the engine the lower cylinders smoke a little but only for 10 or 15 seconds. Like the full scale version, when the engine is sitting oil leaks through open valves so I put a small drip pan under it. I'm glad you liked the 9 cylinder. I hope to start a new project soon, V8 or Jet engine.

A pair of those on a 1/2 scale classic flyable airplane would be absolutely wicked. I think a Mini Lockheed Electric would be beyond cool with a pair of these. A 1/4 scale B-29 with four twin bank versions of this engine would be absolutely stunning. Even a Baby B-17 would still be so worthy. Then again there is one more thing this engine would be absolutely a hoot in... an Ultralight. It probably would yank the wings off a regular one though.

There's nothing wrong with water cooled engines. I plan to start machining a mini V8 this year if my other projects don't get in the way.

CLAYTON I wanted to build a fully flyable (as in my butt parked in the pilot seat) 1/4 scale B-29 using 4 aluminum Chevy 454cid engines using the radiators to cover the engines like the radial engines (I know this would have been cheating the build not using Radial Engines BUT radials do have extra work needed to prep for takeoff like removing the bottom spark plugs to drain oil out of then before start up. I wanted a more, "jump in it, flip the switches and off I go," unlike the start up procedures one had to go through with old war birds. I love old aircraft and this is such a tribute to engineering. Anyone who can build an engine from scratch like this has very mighty Engineering Kung Fu. I bow in respect to your skills. I am kind of surprised your father was able to transition from Prop to Jet in his career. I know not all pilots were given the chance to make the transition during their careers. I knew someone who used to load nukes onto B-47s in Okinawa. Even he had a lot of repsect for that jet. It must have been an incredible experience for your father to go from the B-29 to the B-47 because of the change of technology and the boosted performance.

Hi, I believe I'm in the process of building the same engine, from the looks of the plans and casting. I've got the crankcase done, except the cams, not milled, but all done except lobes. I've got 11 cylinders, I'm junking two heads, because I just found 1/4-32 plugs, and only had one really good head, I'll keep it, but make nine for the smaller plugs. I noted you've got inserts, and your ignition is clean, clear, right on. I admire your set up, the station for the engine, and the support, fuel, oil tank, and ignition. Did you make up your own electronic ignition setup, or is it one available? I've gone through numerous different plans on that aspect, but with some modern electronics, I think I'm going to have sort of a magneto, as close as I can get to one. These spark-gap devices, lighters and such, are small enough to fit inside and produce the needed spark, I think, not need external, oversized coil. Your engine sounds perfect, I spent most of my youth dreaming of such engines, studying them, as I worked on lawnmowers, cars, motorcycles, jets, helicopters, and, again, model engines. Thanks for showing the great workmanship and skill. Semper Fi, John McClain
