I am a fan of aero engines. But I prefer V12-s, such as the Rolls Royce Merlin and Griffon, or the reversed V12s such as the Daimler-Benz DB-605. But the Wright R-3350 and Shvetsov ASh-73 are my favorite Radials. I also have to mention my endeared Bristol Hercules engines, that I don't like by themselves too much, but because they power the Bristol Beaufighter, one of my beloved Twin Engine fighters.
Dont really see the point in having a massive engine sitting on a stand in the corner of my shop other then to get all pissed up and start it up at 3am and rev the shit out of it and wake the neighbors
If the engines are fuel injected, they can be tricky to start. The Piper Arrow I got my commercial in was a BITCH to start if you flooded the engine! You almost needed three hands to get it started. You'd have the throttle wide open, while the mixture was at idle cutoff. Then, when the engine caught, you had to close the throttle and enrichen the mixture-all while turning the key to engage the starter! I'm thinking that there's a similar story with these radials.
Radial engines and 2-Stroke diesels are my favorite sounding engines.
Any RADIAL ENGINE fans ? :)
First engine comes into a Sikorsky s 55 helicopter ??
Maybe
As long as there's no English viewers

This is the original high performance! Built by slide rules and brains.. love me some round engines. Great vid!
I remember my days with the BT13, the N3, B25, and 26, and the B36...
Dont forget a 3 min rest for starters between attemps
0:00 to 0:07 is my old Chevy wagon starting up
Gives you a prospective on what the boys went through back in WWII cold starting them war planes.
0:01 That thing has a cylinder barfing back through the intake on every stroke. Can hear it miss when it's running also...
@ 4:27 , sounds like a chrysler gear reduction starter 😎
4:39 or so. Check out the RAT! Very cool.
Yes I am radial fan

Pratt & Whitney runs in my blood.
3:26 guy in the pink shirt, “ can you guys keep the noise down “ ?

Lot of these folks don't kno how to start their particular radial engine...read the fu..ing book!...or burn up the starters!

The simple truth is......No one has a single fuck to give about a radial engine on a trailer.
Yes they do assholes....some of us like yo build em and run them...
I do...
This may come as a surprise to you, but your opinion is not actually a reflection of everyone else's opinion 🤯
Seems like a lot of unnecessary pollution!!🤣😂👍
@Limey no🥱
