radial piston engine

[klond]

 Just on the heels of Azimech's awe-inducing V4 is my no frills, 12 cylinder radial.  Inspired by Azimech o' course.  It features

-realistic radial engine motion

-active cooling

-6.5 rads/s-ish top speed

-see thru cylinders  

-stop/start anytime

 

 I'm pretty proud, so I wanted to share.

  

 (Also, I used to be a good speller, but I've had to google so many words lately.  You know you can tell when they don't look right, but still gotta look it up.)

That's pretty amazing

You beat me to it! The first stock radial!

Well ... I still have the first radial with working ignition :-P

And indeed, the smartest way to do it to keep part count and size down. Have you balanced it yet? Might improve engine speed.

If not, then we'll have encountered a problem with the RCS balls (I have a mini 4L that won't run faster than 6.7 for love or money).

 No, but that's a good idea.  If it offers improvements I'll update.
