It just looks like it wants to seize up.

The timing is off on the model. The piston passes slightly over before it fires. It was between slightly before and directly up on the model.

Has this been tried in a car??

Cool! i was wondering how these things work. One less thing I have to learn for my commercial pilot's licence!

@KoutetsuTenshin The same way I did !!!!!!!!

They have extra rings on the bottom cylinder to prevent the oil draining into the cylinder. Normally you turn the engine over by hand before starting to ensure the cylinder isnt full of oil which would cause a hydraulic lock. Once running the oil just splashes away and is collected by a scavenge pump and sent to the oil tank/sump.

I never understood how these radial engines recycle engine lubricating oil. Wouldn't the bottom cylinders load up with oil? Or is this one of those engines where the oil is mixed into the fuel?
