I stumbled across this while surfing, though I can't imagine it being much more than a showpiece. Pretty neat concept though Cool

Al, you might want to double check that link. It set off my virus scanner.

Works fine for me, but changed to the you-tube link just in case.

And here's the other bike

I've actually seen that before. You may not know that I am building an airplane in my garage, and that engine would be perfect for it. The plane was originally designed in 1933, so the radial engine just fits the look perfectly. But the price tag on that little hummer. Shocked

oh well its either a corvair or model A i guess.

You'd think they could have used a smaller radial engine. That first one looks like its straight off a P-47! Very Happy

Its actually very small, and only in the neighborhood of 100 HP. 110 i think it is. Pretty cool. But ten grand. Shocked

Here's a smaller one, 4.2 CI

link would help I guess. http://www.osengines.com/engines/osmg1307.html

But seriously thats a pretty darn big RC engine. A 6 ft wing span RC will typically fly on .60-.90 Cubic inches.
