Without choke it cannot be started by hand. the carburetor has to be flooded until it makes a smacking noise, then it starts immediately. I own and fly this engine since three years.
Every time you have an opportunity to be friends such a person then you should take advantage of that and treat them with lots of kindness and respect because these are the type of people who teach you lots of things about life.
You may just convince me there is more to life than Watts. That is awesome. Please post when she is flying, that will be one big bird and worth the investment!
@@davidmulcahy4864 It's a very cool engine and looks like it would be a fun engine to own... but for the price, I think the more modern compact jet turbines would be more versatile and interesting for various projects. I figured that this was not his first time starting this one, but you never know...
Beautiful! ...If it's half as powerful as it looks, that frame to which it is bolted should be secured via cables to spikes anchored to the ground some distance away aft.
Bill's famous quote I don't know if it will start by hand in between eating through a straw. Animatronics at this present moment are developing robotic fingers for Bill. Friends and loved ones attended the funeral for Bill's fingers 3 months ago it was a beautiful service
i would wear leather gloves for starting as this motor will take all your fingers off and still be running. what a complicated piece of kit....well done for getting it started...scary stuff when in a plane i would only have electric start for this one....at least all you have to do is push a button on the tx and it will start.
Actually it is a lack of contact that you have to have to start an aircraft engine since contact of the magneto is never broken but shorted out to keep it from firing.
I imagine if he'd just wanted something to just make a prop go round he would have done what you do. But nobody would watch a video of what you do. This is a guy with great skills and dedication at the point of bringing something amazing to fruition, and that's what you got. You must have a hard time keeping up with the dinner party invitations.
Is it a bought off the shelf engine or home built? The prop shapes are due to the “Rolling” shutter of the camera sensor, where the pixel rows are read out in sequence, unlike a more expensive design that uses a “Global” shutter where all pixels are read out simultaneously. Thanks for sharing very nice engine. Greetings from Tasmania Australia.🇦🇺🦘👍
Off the shelf from UMS they so a range of 7 and 9 Cyl engines. Nice to see someone who understands global shutter - hard to do with CMOS sensors but can be done. Simple to do with CCD sensors as they have masked off storage areas - a bit like winding on film - CCDs used to be more sensitive than MOS years ago but MOS sensors had billions of deveopment money thrown at them for mobile phones. I spent my life in imaging :). Was UK CCTV prodoct manager for Bosch before I retired. Just saw 4K introduced into CCTV :).

it has often been said that the difference between man's and boy's toys is the price
I agree
Bill, that is a work of art, sounds bloody awesome

Will love to hear it in the air. I was worried it was going to pull the Workmate over!
Cool....I love radial engines . Flipping awesome.
Sounds really smooth. Well worth the wait!
A piece of beauty I wish I had one.
Super elegant piece of machinery! Wow!
Looks like a perfect engine for the bicycle
Beautiful, what a lovely engine. 👍
What a sound! Best 115 cc I've ever heard. Or 250 or 500 etc etc...
Incredible job!
It was being stubborn at first but you showed it who is boss! lol! Sounds awesome!
Wow , listen to that thing , sounds beautiful 🤩
You may just convince me there is more to life than Watts.
That is awesome.
Please post when she is flying, that will be one big bird and worth the investment!
Absolutely beautiful thing, such a great sound.
Because our factories would not have anything to build if we never improved
All I saw at the beginning was that thing starting and pulling itself into this man at full speed.
Very cool engine, wobbly stand, though.
Its fine - hes got his foot on it.

Little boys never grow up!!! Only thing changes is their toys and how they play!!!!!
Beautiful engine and so quiet...
Beautiful little radial engine 👍
Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. RC er for life.
VF-51
So bad ass wow 👌 I only wish that 1 day I will have this much skills!!
Superb videography.
Incredible engine. Hats off to you
That's a lovely little engine
Beautifully engineered and crafted!
When you can get the goddamn thing to run
A thing of beauty!
Cool engine. It'd be a pain in the butt to have four of those in a plane to start.
I like it, I like it a lot.
Cracking piece of engineering.
Wow!What a sound!
Thanks for keeping film running. And you asked for smile. Nice.
that's a powerful engine, look how it bent the prop.
Beautiful!
...If it's half as powerful as it looks, that frame to which it is bolted should be secured via cables to spikes anchored to the ground some distance away aft.
Beautiful. 👍🏻
Wow.. impressive 👌
Well done Bill!
Magnificent engine👍👍
brilliant engineering
Perfect Work!!!! .....
A beautiful thing...
Amazing. Beautiful piece of work.
TRUE BEAUTY OF ENGINEERING!!!!
WOW! Spelled W.O.W. Very COoL.
magnifico!
Nicely done
Vultee Vengeance Nashville Tennessee production.
This radial reminds me of that aircraft.
So smooth:)

That's awesome it would be perfect in a motorcycle.
Awesome engine👌🏻
Fantastic!Would be perfect in a motorcycle.
A nice piece of engineering 🎉
Awesome 👍 Someone should make an airplane to go along with it.
A couple of guy ropes wouldn’t go amiss😀😀😀 Amazing workmanship.
Well done! Glad you didn’t go the electric route for the engine as well.
Great sound. Would love to see two of them in a RC Grumman S2 Tracker.
SUPER COOL!
👍👍👍👍👍i love it 😍
You need to prime the motor, like the full scale version. Then it will start easy.
Hello my new friend this is an awesome video I really like this video.
Very nice engine
My sphincter puckered every time you swung it by hand😳
same every time they were near the spinning prop
I didn't won't one till this video. 😍

Of all scale engines, the radial sounds the best.
Actually it is a lack of contact that you have to have to start an aircraft engine since contact of the magneto is never broken but shorted out to keep it from firing.
I'm a woosse, I hated seeing your bare hand flipping the prop, but, I love the result:)
What a sound from such a small engine, that prop could have your hand off!
Bravo.perfect
That is a lovely work of art.
Awesome maybe one day it will fly.
Alright I need four of these for my B17 model
Very cool! I used to beat hell out of my fingers trying to state my little .049. This thing would tear your arm off. Haha.
I don’t know which is more pleasing to the ear, Bills accent (Welsh?) or the engine😀
If I was doing this, I'd be using a BIG chicken stick, or the electric starter. I value my fingers.
4:20, Finally!!!! Sounds good.
Mine starts first time every time. But i always get my neighbor to do the hand starts .
Nice engine, nice sound, hard to start. Love my OS they start at first attempt.
This was the first time it had been run with test rig.
The first time you start an engine ever in that configuration it's going to have to be tweaked to get the right air to fuel ratios.

Sweet
Sweet i want one
Instant subscriber
I fell asleep, but woke up when it finally fired.
Шар земной мы вращаем винтами, от себя, от себя
Wonderfull...full size uses a pump primer
Be on the lookout for flying fingers.
Great!!!
Must be made in China smooth starting👍👍👌
Notice the fuel tank draining very quickly! Lol

Now install that engine to a suitable-sized DHC Beaver
That's a good airboat motor 😂

Somewhere around Swansea I guess. Intreage and engineering. Pleasure when things work.
Gelligaer - between the Taff and Rhymney Valleys. Swansea is 40 miles away. Just north of Caerphilly.
It would be great if it had an on board electric starter motor.
One would surely think that using an electric starter would be worth it here. One backfire can cause a lot of pain.
❤
4:19 is when the engine starts. Youre welcome
Put a quartet of those on a Handley-Page Halifax model and watch people go mad with astonishment!
Hi i have the same engine unrun. What are you running on ignition. Mine came with life cell 6.6v 3800mah what did you use? I would prefer lipo ?
Sorry no Idea - I was just videoing Bills engine on my iphone. I’d have to ask him next time I see him.
Would be helpful thanks
Love the sound of that thing! I don't have much experience with model aircraft. Would you actually put that thing on a flying model aircraft?
Of course :). czcams.com/video/NauoCb4GOwc/video.htmlsi=0Ad08OiKhIVYILMz
