Howdy-You are wondering about if you should try to build a radial engine. Well I went through the same kind of thinking, as I have never even turned on a...
I've been watching posts on this site, waiting for someone to respond to "whammy666's" question about accumulated time on the R180. Is there any reason why...
As it sits there are a handful of people who have working examples of HCI radials. Jack and Andy at HCI could tell you the experiences of themselves and...
Here's a roundabout answer to your question. It seems that you and I started at the same point. Bear in mind that the plans I had have been revised since 1997....
Jim: Jack and Andy built SN-002 for me to install in my Nieuport. It is installed and I'm currently in the process of installing fuel injection after two...
You must mean the seven cylinder engine in the photo section. This engine is being used to test performance and cooling issues of an OHV variant of HCI's VW...
Jim: Is the built-up crank threaded together, welded together or is it a shrink/press fit? If it is the latter, I think that you are right on when you say that...
The plans I received years ago called for a threaded crank. (1000 ftlbs) Since finding someone to roll the threads is next to impossible lathe cut UNJ threads...
Jim: When you write about the "smaller size VW cylinders being used," what sizes do you include in that category? Appreciate your comments about reliability......
Jack likes the 85.5mm VW cylinders for many reasons. With these small diameter cylinders there is more space between the mounting studs and air flows better...
... I've just run across another webpage, agreeing with the first: http://sandlizrd.baja.com/bajamtrs.htm ... Cylinder wall thickness: There's some magic...
Hi, I've been a lurker on this site for some time now. I am intriqued with this engine though I do not have a plane to put it on right now. I have a small...
... Jim posted the above 'new & improved' counterweight equation back in May 2002. It gives the required counter weight W, but I find it odd that there is no...
Hey Doug, Yes you were missing something... A diagram I forgot to include! I just put it in the files section. The first page of Prof. Coppens letter specified...
Hi Charlie, I'll take a swing at your question but must first say that keeping your stock heads would be much easier. Some serious trial and error work lies...
Hi Jim, Sorry for taking so long to reply. Your drawing is very interesting. I had expected a significantly larger gap there. That would definitely simplify...

Dr. Odeh You sent this letter to me last year. As you know I turned your offer down as my accountant and solicitor advised me not to pursue it because they...
This is the by now infamous Nigerian scam. Sometimes it is oil, sometimes military money. It is always a scam. Once you give them your bank information, they...
Yes, I know someone who was caught out by it. Its too widely known now, but they keep trying. In a message dated 27/05/03 23:34:29 GMT Daylight Time, ...
Amazingly they continue to catch trusting people. Last year the scam took in several million dollars. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? ...
