Description

This 5-cylinder radial engine, with a displacement of 180CC, offers a highly realistic appearance and dependable performance, making it an excellent choice for scale model aircraft and similar projects. Designed to deliver both aesthetic authenticity and mechanical reliability, it comes fully equipped with essential components including an exhaust collector ring, spark plugs, an electronic ignition system, and a sturdy engine mount, all ready for immediate installation and operation.

Ease of use is prioritized through user-friendly choke and throttle bellcranks, which simplify both the installation process and throttle control during operation. The engine’s construction showcases precision engineering, with core components CNC-machined from high-quality aluminum or bar stock to ensure exact, repeatable specifications and superior craftsmanship.

Both the cylinder heads and crankcases are crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum alloys, striking a perfect balance between strength and lightweight durability. The heavy-duty double-bearing crankshaft further enhances the engine’s robustness, enabling it to withstand demanding usage and extend its operational lifespan.

The pistons are made from billet aluminum and feature hardened steel rings to reduce friction and improve combustion efficiency. Additionally, the cylinder bores are hard-chromed and carefully lapped to increase wear resistance and optimize performance over time. Hardened steel cams provide reliable valve timing and long-term dependability under rigorous conditions.

Compatible with readily available 87 to 110 octane gasoline and designed to operate with a 32:1 gas-to-oil mixture, this radial engine is versatile and suitable for a wide range of environments and applications. Overall, it delivers a professional-grade powerplant solution that combines historical authenticity with modern engineering excellence for scale enthusiasts and serious builders alike.
