Very cool. It's a great idea to turn the cylinders around, and the double crankshaft is another great idea. I have been looking for a well working radial, and this might be it. I'll have to build it soon.

Thanks. As stated in the video, I found out that most of the designs lack both solid frame and proper crankshaft. It's just that people make those for the video and run it for a moment in optimal conditions and that's it. I built it with just centre crankshaft on 24T gear and it was getting stuck from time to time and worked with significant resistance. But the double crank is kind of obvious solution, but I'm pretty proud of myself for this frame design.

Radial 6-cylinder, kind of like Sherman M4/M4A1 R-975 which was actually a 9-cylinder:

 

Very compact and functional!
