I've been an aerial applicator for 22 years and currently I fly a Grumman G164, Ag Cat with a nine cylinder radial engine. The Pratt & Whitney R-985, which denotes 985 cubic inches. The "R" means that it's a radial engine. It produces 450 horsepower at only 2150 RPM. What interested me about the tiny radial engine is that the real R985 lopes the same way at idle.
Love to have a full scale in the back yard and to start it on sunday mornings with a lot of excess fuel to hear her cough and fart...AAHH music to my ears...
Aren't there forums thats discuss engine design ? Personally I think electric motors is more the future, but I still love listening to radial engines, hummm maybe a radial electric motor would be cool?lol ; )
This sound is simply ........ amazing. How in real.

He cant crank it, can you see it trying to fly off the table? you can see the back of the plank of wood slightly lifting.

@UrbanDenim Um, yes, I would have moved the clamps as far back as they could go. What if they let go ?

i'd imagine a decent amount since there's constant force applied on the crankshaft. i wonder how that applies to torque? experts?

I don't see the muffler. I stood next to a B 25 as it taxied and took off. It was louder that a jet with the two radial engines at full power.

Excellent work...it even has that Radial sound.
I can't use a power drill so I cannot even begin to imagine the total amount of work involved.
I am stunned with admiration with all of the mini-engines represented here at YT.
