I really enjoyed seeing the craftsmanship you put into building your engine there are fewer and fewer people these that can do that kind of machine work reminds me of working with my grandfather and how sharp of a mechanic he is thanks.
Years later, will always be cool. Love small working engines and would love to have something like this. Could have them all on run stands and be completely happy playing with them on the weekends. Don't even have to put them in anything, just fun on their own. Working art.
@@claytoncollins2212 No worries, when they are this old I don't much expect anyone to pay attention except for someone taking a look after me. When it is something that I appreciate and right up my alley it is worth it to me and others with similar interest. If it made it into a plane I'm not sure it would be any more fun. A Moki would be cool to me now, just love the way these little radials sound. Something else around now that wasn't back then and a little cheaper than some of these little radials is the new Toyan V8. they were on sale not to long ago for $1300. Another thousand for run kit and supercharger. They too sound amazing with ok Chinese quality but have to convince myself that a 3hp 28cc V8 motor is worth the expense for the cool factor and my occasional smile. Even tho hobbies bring happiness I have to be a little responsible to keep my house from falling apart around me. lol
@@plap. The Toyan engines are really cool but for me machining has not been just my career it's my passion. To me taking bar stock and machining it into something is very satisfying and that's where the fun is. And with larger projects that take a long time to complete the cost is spread out over the length of project. I am currently machining a Stuart Oilfield Pump (pump Jack). The castings and drawings came from England and the drawings are a little challenging with errors and all the dimensions are in fractions. But all in all still a lot of fun.
@@claytoncollins2212Your next one sounds fun. I agree, I have the mind and the love just not the equipment. To do it from scratch, that would really raise the price for me. I must settle on assembling a pre made parts kit. You think building off old plans is tough, try building a kit from Chinese instructions translated to English after translation to three other languages first. lol 😅
Some days my recommended gives me some really cool stuff. Today is one such say. Excellent workmanship, sir! I am quite impressed with your workmanship.
+rbagel55 Hi +rbagel55, It took me about 4 years to machine all the parts and assemble the engine. I wasn't working on it all the time. i would go a couple of months at a time without working on it. I was quiet surprised when it started on the first try without having to modify or fix something. Thanks for your comments.
I have these Barron plans for a 1/4 scale Curtiss Goshawk and in the real world will probably have to go electric. But I'm drooling here looking at your engine. It's the just right size and sound and 32" is the scale prop! Multiples of 5 stars to you. What an engine!
Thanks Mike, the radial was a lot of fun building. I have plans to begin machining a V8 this year but with all my other projects i'll have to that goes.
Oil in the lower cylinders can be a problem. Before I start the engine I pull the lower spark plugs and drain any oil that has collected in them. When I start the engine the lower cylinders smoke a little but only for 10 or 15 seconds. Like the full scale version, when the engine is sitting oil leaks through open valves so I put a small drip pan under it. I'm glad you liked the 9 cylinder. I hope to start a new project soon, V8 or Jet engine.
And this is why I like CNC's the multiple parts and running a Mori-Seiki Seiko NT 9 axis so you have one set up. I can see the detail and numerous set ups and fixtures. kudos.
Hi Kieth, I have CNC's but chose to do all the machining on manuals. Where's the fun in letting the CNC's make the parts. I'm glad you liked my engine.
Did that in high school, and later on building injection molds. Yep it's fun, but time consuming, and having worked in mfg for so long, I do the manual work next to the CNC's doing the repetitive, running both machines.
+BelgianBush Rc Hi, I don't know if I'm a genius. It does help that I'm a machinist. I'm glad you liked my engine. I hope to start work on a scale V8 this year. It should be a lot of fun.
That is an awesome engine. The engine sound and prop wash sound full size. Definitely want to see that in the nose of a rc airplane. Biplane, warbird or single engine float plane would be AWESOME!
fricken awesome ..... And I say that because it looks like you did it the old school way. Had it been done on CNC's it would not be impressive in the least bit. Keep up the good work my friend.
I bow in awe of your craftsmanship! That is a masterpiece. I personally prefer inline water cooled but this is just ART and a testament to the skill of the builder! A pair of those on a 1/2 scale classic flyable airplane would be absolutely wicked. I think a Mini Lockheed Electric would be beyond cool with a pair of these. A 1/4 scale B-29 with four twin bank versions of this engine would be absolutely stunning. Even a Baby B-17 would still be so worthy. Then again there is one more thing this engine would be absolutely a hoot in... an Ultralight. It probably would yank the wings off a regular one though.
+KingOfAllAnimals Hi King, Thank you for your kind words. My father flue B-17's, B-24's, B29's and then B-47's and EB-66's said the same thing, that is should build a multi engine bomber to really show off engines ( I would have to build another engine). There's nothing wrong with water cooled engines. I plan to start machining a mini V8 this year if my other projects don't get in the way.
CLAYTON I wanted to build a fully flyable (as in my butt parked in the pilot seat) 1/4 scale B-29 using 4 aluminum Chevy 454cid engines using the radiators to cover the engines like the radial engines (I know this would have been cheating the build not using Radial Engines BUT radials do have extra work needed to prep for takeoff like removing the bottom spark plugs to drain oil out of then before start up. I wanted a more, "jump in it, flip the switches and off I go," unlike the start up procedures one had to go through with old war birds. I love old aircraft and this is such a tribute to engineering. Anyone who can build an engine from scratch like this has very mighty Engineering Kung Fu. I bow in respect to your skills. I am kind of surprised your father was able to transition from Prop to Jet in his career. I know not all pilots were given the chance to make the transition during their careers. I knew someone who used to load nukes onto B-47s in Okinawa. Even he had a lot of repsect for that jet. It must have been an incredible experience for your father to go from the B-29 to the B-47 because of the change of technology and the boosted performance.
Howdy friend, Plans are available, see video description for link.They have plans for 9,14,18 cylinder and also an BR-2 Bentley Rotary.The plans also include machining operation sheets and drawings for fixtures needed for machining and assembling each engine.
i cant find the link for the plans. and those people making fun of you are behaving like little mocking children with absolutely no integrity. nice job, i definately want the plans. i will be doing it on my cnc lathe and cnc mill. its gonna be exciting!
Well Michael McDonald look-alike, I've had my plans and casting for a year now scared outa my mind to start machining!! But I think it's about time to jump into the fire.... Love your set up and tank... Best of luck
I love projects like this. Plus the size of this radial engine just makes me want to put it into a scale model rp plane that used that kind of Radial engine and see if it will fly
I'd love to have a model radial engine that runs on gas. I use ro do rc planes but at 82 I don't go anywhere any.ore. your engine is 1000 times beautiful. I'm so Jealous
I've seen plans to build radials; but I wonder if someone has come up with some kind of equation/formula based on bore/stroke, etc. to design crank and cam profiles... Always thought it would be fun to custom build a radial from briggs & stratton parts to power a riding mower =P
Thanks your your response .. I am completely in awe -- you may be 'just a machinist' but blimey - how did you create this incredible machine by hand? Did you have measurements/dimensions of all components from somewhere or how did you figure that out? Unbelieveable ;-)
A lot of people had a hand in developing and refining the plans I used to machine and assemble my engine. I found the plans on the internet at Ageless Engines. Since building my engine the plans have undergone many changes as builders have made improvements and passed the on to Ageless Engines.
Hi, I believe I'm in the process of building the same engine, from the looks of the plans and casting. I've got the crankcase done, except the cams, not milled, but all done except lobes. I've got 11 cylinders, I'm junking two heads, because I just found 1/4-32 plugs, and only had one really good head, I'll keep it, but make nine for the smaller plugs. I noted you've got inserts, and your ignition is clean, clear, right on. I admire your set up, the station for the engine, and the support, fuel, oil tank, and ignition. Did you make up your own electronic ignition setup, or is it one available? I've gone through numerous different plans on that aspect, but with some modern electronics, I think I'm going to have sort of a magneto, as close as I can get to one. These spark-gap devices, lighters and such, are small enough to fit inside and produce the needed spark, I think, not need external, oversized coil. Your engine sounds perfect, I spent most of my youth dreaming of such engines, studying them, as I worked on lawnmowers, cars, motorcycles, jets, helicopters, and, again, model engines. Thanks for showing the great workmanship and skill. Semper Fi, John McClain
Oh, man. That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! There really is something special about radial engines. Q, what music is that? I like that too.
Hi, the piston rings were made from a bar of fine grained cast iron. I machined the OD and ID then parted them off. After splitting one side I held the rings open with a steel bar and heated them with a torch to set the spring. Thanks for watching the video.
Amazing work of art! Do you have plans to fly it in a giant scale rc airplane?? My welding teacher made a huge rc airplane out of aluminum and he says that airplane out of his collection is the best flying and toughest in strength. Would be amazing to see this engine fly in a scratch built airplane.
How does the oiling system work, is it premix? Maybe you mentioned it in the video but I couldn't get the whole video to play, TH-cam has been messing with me lately :/
+sc0tte1 Hi, The engine is a 4 cycle and runs on LL 100 gas and the oil system uses 40W motor oil. The tank behind the engine holds fuel on one side and oil on the other. There are 2 oil pumps. One pumps oil from the tank through the crank. After exiting the crank the oil is slung around and collects in the sump at the bottom of the engine where it picked up by the second oil pump and pumped back into the tank.
great job you did on your engine. I am getting ready to build a WW1 mercedes D3 inline 6. I will pour the case and machine the rest. I hope that it runs as well as yours when I am done. thank you for the great vid. can you tell me what size prop are you running and the rpm you got with it. thank you, chuck
Alexander Boshoff When things go wrong on an airplane the first thing to hit the ground is the engine. I think I'll keep it on the stand and besides I'm more of a machinist than a pilot. Thanks for your comment.
@cklskypilot Hi Chuck,The prop is 32" long and I had P K Props in Milford Kansas build it. The engine tops out at about 3100 rpm.Good luck with your project, I look forward to seeing it on TH-cam.
That's impressive. I see on a comment you purchased the design? Did you have to change the design at all to make it actually run? If you were to produce as set of as built prints, how close would they be to the originals?
+HalfNelson 73 Hi HalfNelson 73, The plans were pretty complete I think the only changes I made were aesthetics. there may have been some small errors but nothing the stands out.The plans are around $110. and are constantly being updated as builders submit improvements to Ageless Engines.
Also, what do you estimate the cost of materials you have spent I have a project I'm trying to get started and I was hoping to buy the plans from ageless designs for the 18 cyl. double wasp. I have no machine shop or machining skills but there is a shop in town that can create these parts for me. Seems so far it's my only option being there is no true quarter scale engine for a 1/4 scale F4U Corsair available. Only the 1/5 scale plans from ageless. Incredible job you've done love your work

@cklskypilot Hi Chuck,The prop is 32" long and I had P K Props in Milford Kansas build it. The engine tops out at about 3100 rpm.Good luck with your project, I look forward to seeing it on TH-cam.

Great job!
Beautiful craftmanship.
Have you considered machining some turbine blades on the back of crank to supercharge the inlet?
could a couple of those power a mini aircraft?
yes
Two of these would probably kick butt on an ultralight!

Very good job and nice engine sound.
Wow, very impressed!
Bill Oddie has many talents
That's impressive. I see on a comment you purchased the design? Did you have to change the design at all to make it actually run? If you were to produce as set of as built prints, how close would they be to the originals?

Hi HalfNelson 73, The plans were pretty complete I think the only changes I made were aesthetics. there may have been some small errors but nothing the stands out.The plans are around $110. and are constantly being updated as builders submit improvements to Ageless Engines.
Nice job!! Any plans for one with a supercharger?
Also, what do you estimate the cost of materials you have spent I have a project I'm trying to get started and I was hoping to buy the plans from ageless designs for the 18 cyl. double wasp. I have no machine shop or machining skills but there is a shop in town that can create these parts for me. Seems so far it's my only option being there is no true quarter scale engine for a 1/4 scale F4U Corsair available. Only the 1/5 scale plans from ageless. Incredible job you've done love your work
Of course. What better place to vedio the engine runing.
my dads name is clayton good job dad :D
This engine was built from plans by Lee Hodgson at Ageless Engines
Did they give any HP estimates for the engine?
Mantap keahliannya, hnya saya tidak paham cara memasang alat2 satu persatu menjadi mesin pesawatnya. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
How much HP can it generate?
