That is way cool, however, I would be worried about ruuning that thing with nothing around the blade. That thing would take your fingers or hand right off. Those are very strong engines. It probably wouldnt even burp cutting your hand off.

That is very cool, Michelko! Be careful with that propeller, though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
How's your 914 rebuild coming? I sure do enjoy seeing your work in your "You have to be strong" thread. |

unfortunately it is a little cold in good old germany. Hard to work in the garage when the fingers are stiff frozen. Lokking for spring and the temperature is rising. I found two additional clips from model-engines (four-bangers). I´ll post them later. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

I saw one of the air cooled engines that they used on the "Spruce Goose" in the Seattle airplane museum.
It had 7 cylinders in four rows. You could look into the engine and all you would see are cylinders. Here is some info I found out about it. Pretty wild. Engines: The R4360 Pratt & Whitney engines are 3,000 horsepower each-the largest piston-driven engines for aircraft in production. Each engine has 28 cylinders, with two spark plugs each, totaling 56 spark plugs per engine, or 448 spark plugs per aircraft. For in-flight inspection and repair, the engines are accessible through the spar of the 13-foot thick wing. A Sight station located behind each engine allows an engineer to monitor for leaks, and to change generators and fuel pumps. Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major Regards, Dave |
