Without choke it cannot be started by hand. the carburetor has to be flooded until it makes a smacking noise, then it starts immediately. I own and fly this engine since three years.
Every time you have an opportunity to be friends such a person then you should take advantage of that and treat them with lots of kindness and respect because these are the type of people who teach you lots of things about life.
You may just convince me there is more to life than Watts. That is awesome. Please post when she is flying, that will be one big bird and worth the investment!
Beautiful! ...If it's half as powerful as it looks, that frame to which it is bolted should be secured via cables to spikes anchored to the ground some distance away aft.
@@davidmulcahy4864 It's a very cool engine and looks like it would be a fun engine to own... but for the price, I think the more modern compact jet turbines would be more versatile and interesting for various projects. I figured that this was not his first time starting this one, but you never know...
Bill's famous quote I don't know if it will start by hand in between eating through a straw. Animatronics at this present moment are developing robotic fingers for Bill. Friends and loved ones attended the funeral for Bill's fingers 3 months ago it was a beautiful service
Actually it is a lack of contact that you have to have to start an aircraft engine since contact of the magneto is never broken but shorted out to keep it from firing.
i would wear leather gloves for starting as this motor will take all your fingers off and still be running. what a complicated piece of kit....well done for getting it started...scary stuff when in a plane i would only have electric start for this one....at least all you have to do is push a button on the tx and it will start.
I imagine if he'd just wanted something to just make a prop go round he would have done what you do. But nobody would watch a video of what you do. This is a guy with great skills and dedication at the point of bringing something amazing to fruition, and that's what you got. You must have a hard time keeping up with the dinner party invitations.
Bill told me at the time it was going in a Stearman but not seen that yet. Hes always got lots of projects on the go as well as non RC stuff like old tractors :).
In a Stearman? That would be a large model and a good opportunity to build in a lot of scale detail. I hope he does it and we get to see it. As for me, I wouldn't really need to see it fly, but I would like to see finished product with all the details. Another fantastic model would be a DC-3 in that scale.@@davidmulcahy4864
it has often been said that the difference between man's and boy's toys is the price
I agree

Bill, that is a work of art, sounds bloody awesome
My sphincter puckered every time you swung it by hand😳
Sounds really smooth. Well worth the wait!
Beautiful, what a lovely engine. 👍
Superb videography.
Incredible engine. Hats off to you
Super elegant piece of machinery! Wow!
A thing of beauty!
What a sound! Best 115 cc I've ever heard. Or 250 or 500 etc etc...
Cool....I love radial engines . Flipping awesome.
Be on the lookout for flying fingers.
Wow!What a sound!
A piece of beauty I wish I had one.
Looks like a perfect engine for the bicycle
It was being stubborn at first but you showed it who is boss! lol! Sounds awesome!
That's a lovely little engine
Absolutely beautiful thing, such a great sound.
Because our factories would not have anything to build if we never improved
Will love to hear it in the air. I was worried it was going to pull the Workmate over!

Wow , listen to that thing , sounds beautiful 🤩
I like it, I like it a lot.
Cracking piece of engineering.
Vultee Vengeance Nashville Tennessee production.
This radial reminds me of that aircraft.
Well done Bill!
Fantastic!Would be perfect in a motorcycle.
Beautiful little radial engine 👍
Beautiful engine and so quiet...
Amazing. Beautiful piece of work.
Nicely done
A beautiful thing...
Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. RC er for life.
VF-51
You may just convince me there is more to life than Watts.
That is awesome.
Please post when she is flying, that will be one big bird and worth the investment!
So smooth:)
SUPER COOL!
It would be great if it had an on board electric starter motor.
Now install that engine to a suitable-sized DHC Beaver
So bad ass wow 👌 I only wish that 1 day I will have this much skills!!
Beautifully engineered and crafted!
When you can get the goddamn thing to run
That is a lovely work of art.
Beautiful!

Thanks for keeping film running. And you asked for smile. Nice.
Cool engine. It'd be a pain in the butt to have four of those in a plane to start.
Alright I need four of these for my B17 model
Bravo.perfect
Well done! Glad you didn’t go the electric route for the engine as well.
All I saw at the beginning was that thing starting and pulling itself into this man at full speed.
Very cool engine, wobbly stand, though.
Its fine - hes got his foot on it.

I didn't won't one till this video. 😍
That's a good airboat motor 😂
I'm a woosse, I hated seeing your bare hand flipping the prop, but, I love the result:)
...Which won't start... Bill gives up and goes for a piss.
WOW! Spelled W.O.W. Very COoL.
Beautiful. 👍🏻
What a sound from such a small engine, that prop could have your hand off!
that's a powerful engine, look how it bent the prop.
TRUE BEAUTY OF ENGINEERING!!!!
Wow.. impressive 👌
Somewhere around Swansea I guess. Intreage and engineering. Pleasure when things work.
Gelligaer - between the Taff and Rhymney Valleys. Swansea is 40 miles away. Just north of Caerphilly.
Perfect Work!!!! .....
Possibility to be the first flying workbench 😂
brilliant engineering
magnifico!
A nice piece of engineering 🎉
Wonderfull...full size uses a pump primer

Great sound. Would love to see two of them in a RC Grumman S2 Tracker.
Hello my new friend this is an awesome video I really like this video.
A couple of guy ropes wouldn’t go amiss😀😀😀 Amazing workmanship.
Awesome engine👌🏻
You need to prime the motor, like the full scale version. Then it will start easy.
Sweet i want one
Listen to that 4-Stroke Rumble!!!
Blue fuel usually indicates a 2 stroke fuel mix of gas with oil.
Now Bill has to build a huge model or ARF to use it. I wouldn't want to risk it in a crash though.
Very nice!
Awesome 👍 Someone should make an airplane to go along with it.
I don’t know which is more pleasing to the ear, Bills accent (Welsh?) or the engine😀
Actually it is a lack of contact that you have to have to start an aircraft engine since contact of the magneto is never broken but shorted out to keep it from firing.
👍👍👍👍👍i love it 😍
Dear passengers ... we try again tomorrow. 😄
Mine starts first time every time. But i always get my neighbor to do the hand starts .
04:12 here it goes.😊

Very nice engine
Very cool! I used to beat hell out of my fingers trying to state my little .049. This thing would tear your arm off. Haha.
sound is nice,,, but makes me love my electrics more
I fell asleep, but woke up when it finally fired.
What's it going in?
Next logical step would be adding a frame, two wheels and a steering bar !?
Who's castings and drawings?
Instant subscriber
Of all scale engines, the radial sounds the best.
I think I'd find a cordless drill motor and make an engine starter.
Sweet
Nice engine, nice sound, hard to start. Love my OS they start at first attempt.
This was the first time it had been run with test rig.
The first time you start an engine ever in that configuration it's going to have to be tweaked to get the right air to fuel ratios.

4:20, Finally!!!! Sounds good.
Awesome maybe one day it will fly.
Nice-looking engine. What plane do you plan to use it in?

Thank God you don't need to start it.........................................while in the air !!!!
i used to fly rc.that is a engine that should be in a plane.
Notice the fuel tank draining very quickly! Lol
Great!!!
