| 823904 | 2009-10-25 01:01:00 | There are certainly some fine model makers around, including Barry Hares who was a year ahead of me at school, even then he used to win prizes. He has made a 1/5 scale model of a Merlin engine, and a magnificent 24 cylinder Rolls Royce Eagle www.youtube.com www.enginehistory.org www.modelenginenews.org |

| 823907 | 2009-10-25 07:00:00 | I like that V-12 engine. How about a miniature aircraft radial engine? www.youtube.com |

| 823908 | 2009-10-25 08:37:00 | They have actually named that engine wrong. In the aircraft world that engine is called a rotary engine where the cylinders revolve around the crankcase and the crankshaft is fixed. A radial motor is where the cylinders are fixed ie don't revolve around the crankshaft. Early aircraft used rotary engines early 1900s 1st world war. The top engine on the right in that link is a radial. :) |

| 823910 | 2009-10-25 10:14:00 | www.youtube.com :) That engine is not a V12 but a horizontally opposed 12 (Note the cylinder block he shows). Incredible craftsmanship. I wish I had small fraction of his talent. |
