Brief clip of mates Moki 215cc 5 cylinder radial engine running a 32 x 18 propeller. It is planned to mount the engine in a scale Stearman biplane which is under construction. What an awesome noise...
Seven years ago and this now shows up in my suggested section... great power to weight ratio and amazingly light for the bulky size... I would have guessed it to be 40 plus pounds.
@@ALSomthin nah, just add blades and put a screen over the thing so it doesn't chew off your leg. Mesh fan cover, no more wood prop. Then, and only then, could you achieve badass status that cannot be touched!
🔵 What a great sound and what a power-band!! It sounds like it's got torque forever! I would love to see that in a specially designed three-wheeled (two in the front one in the back) type vehicle, what does the RPM Redline at?
I find myself wondering if two of these would be enough for a single seat ultralight.... the coolest one ever made. What an awesome look and sound these engines have.
Am I the only one who was captivated by the radial sound, but cringing the whole time waiting for the camera person to get into the prop. Seemed real close to disaster to me. Makes me shudder just thinking about it. LOVE the video and the engine.
Couple questions. How is the carburetor set up? Is it injected? How about a float Bowl? What if it were in an airplane and it were turned upside down, would it continue to run? Also, I love the way the pushrods and the Rockers operated out in the open air, with no guards of any kind around them.
