9 cylinder model radial engine. This engine was hand made by the builder. Plans were by Lee Hodgson at: www.agelessengi...

What Mr. Collier did as a machinist is craftsmanship perfection. What he did to the valve covers and pushrod cylinders, as well as the additional work, places him in the artist category. For those of us that know what you did, we are in awe.

I purchased the plans and casting from Lee Hodgson probably 15 years ago and have yet to build it. Thanks for the motivation!

That is some awesome work there. I have been a a machinist for 40 years and I greatly appreciate the work and the pure talent required to make such a machine. Love it. The thrill of firing it up for the very first time is probably beyond words. Thank you for sharing it.

Naturephoenix, what you're talking about is called an "inertia starter". It works by winding up a flywheel (what the guy is cranking) Then you engage a clutch (screaming sound), the flywheel turns the engine over and it starts (usually). More reliable than electric start because you don't need a battery & you can try as long you can crank up the flywheel. Some inertia starters used an electric motor to wind up the flywheel.

I worked with Lee Hodgson for about a year in Cincinnati. I remember him talking about how he and his dad developed these engines, and how he planned to market the plan for these. I saw about a dozen years ago that he had gone ahead and done what he said he would back in 1993-94.

You are correct about turning a radial engine over before starting. However Mr Collier did indeed turn the engine over the required number of times before starting, but that was edited out of the video.

Yea, Right, Perhaps one 14 yr old but not several as you state. And a 10th of the time??120 hrs??? That is just 3 weeks. Lets start the clock and see shall we? He is a skilled craftsman, 14 yr old may perhaps have been at it 3 yrs tops, as a 10 yr old does not have the dexterity nor the mind to grasp what is happening. So you lie, just to sound tough. Go away.

OS Engines out of Japan make engines very similar to this although not as large and they average $2700 -$4000 depending on the displacement. They are perfect size for fully functional rc airplanes. A number of years ago I saw a HUGE (yuge?) Ford Tri-motor using three of them. Once it was in the air it looked and sounded like the real thing. Wish I had been born rich instead of so good looking. I would have ALL the cool toys.

One thing I learned when I was flying model airplanes is that you set the mixture and left it alone for the most part. If you had to fiddle with it, you were doing something wrong. I hope he builds an aircraft for it. That would be very cool. He mentioned OS as the maker of the carburetor, they also make and sell a 5 cylinder radial of about 4 cubic inches and I thought at first this engine was using those cylinders and heads but it was not. This is an amazing amount of skill and work on exhibition. It would be a shame if that was it, if he's just going to run it on the stand off and on. It needs to be flown.
