Not Where You Would Expect a Radial Engine
« on: December 07, 2009, 02:08:58 AM »
Hi all

A couple of pictures and videos that I found of radial engines that I thought some of you would like to look at.






Hope you enjoy.

Cheers  :beer:

Don,

I've seen the vids before, still amazing though. Sounds nice too.

That last pic is pretty funny. That must have been one fast growing tree to do that.

Thanks for the pics.

Apparently not, there is one shows up around here sometime has a Lister diesel complete with flat belt drive!  I dont think it can go much faster than about 20mph.

I like this one :nrocks:

A Gismo ??? If it has a flywheel or spins and is made with small parts. I'll take one! If it makes noise, moves, or requires frequent oiling and dusting it's a better deal yet. It's especially right if its shiny and bright; but if it's dirty and dull it wont mater at all...
