DLuders Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 On Bricks'n'Gears , legozzblog describes a Lego Technic 6-Cylinder Radial Engine for World War II-era aircraft. The first video below shows "An...updated version of the Lego Technic plane built around the radial engine. Besides the 6-cylinder engine and dual controls, this version has an updated canopy opening mechanism and updated shock absorbers....It has tandem seats with 2 functional sticks, openable canopy and gears with springs." It reminds me of the yellow 8855 Prop Plane (shown below). The second video is a quick, 7-second clip showing the radial engine's hand-cranked piston movement. The design is based on the one on Betula's Brickshelf Gallery . For those who want to build a 4-cylinder Radial Engine, check out bricktech's 6:48 YouTube video for a step-by-step instruction: .

Burf2000 Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 I really like this, I might have to build one, good work! Quote
spitfire Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I wouldn't recommend following the instructions in the YouTube video when building the 4 cylinder engine, because the connection rods are way too short and therefore pistons don't move high enough in a cylinder. IMO it doesn't look right. Edited August 4, 2010 by spitfire Quote
Milan Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Nice! It is always great to see interesting designs of the existing real life models. Quote
