    Quite a few unbelievable comments here🙄. This is a MAJOR achievement in model engineering. A functional 12 cylinder engine has been an unobtainable dream for many in the RC community, and this gentleman has pulled it off. Congratulations my friend!👍

    Very interesting design, individual cylinder pairs with their own carb. Not needing a blower to work the transfer like in some multi cylinder two strokes. Ball bearings between cylinder blocks? Very serviceable system, you loose one cylinder or pair and not needing a completely new crank case. Respect from a fellow engineer.

    I’m in awe…this is awesome….I want one for both my 1/6th scale mk5 spitfire and mk1 hurricane…only thing I’d want to change (for aesthetic purposes more than anything) is the exhaust manifolds as the manifolds were 2 into 1 on the Rolls Royce so it looked like 3 exhausts on each side not 6..apart from that this is an impressive bit of work bud nice job!

    I built a 1/4 scale Bud Nosen P51. back some 30 years ago. I used a 20cc type weed wacker engine with a 24 inch prop. This is crazy cool stuff.
    The bigger and more powerful RC planes are often easier to fly because they penetrate upper air winds you don't notice from the ground. This man is something else. I gave up the hobby and only building electric type Guillows' Kits. The art of this hobby is building the plane out of the box and understanding. His Point to consider on the weight and CG he placed batteries and other electronics in the Tail end. Top flight is a pre assembled build. Bud Nosen is 4 months or more. Most of the wood in a Bud Nosen kit was junk. Back then the kit was only 125.00.
    I hate to mention on landing you have flaps and landed way to fast. When in doubt based on wind direction get directions from tower control

    Just realised its a 2 stroke engine. Doesn`t that delete the purpose of having a scale V12 engine for such a plane? Not downplaying your engineering here, your work is amazing. I was just thinking, If I wanted a scale V12 for my RC plane, I would want it to be a 4 stroke engine. Sure thats more complex an heavier, but also... even more awesome I would say. 🙃

    • @PhiltechEnterprises
      @PhiltechEnterprises  5 месяцев назад

      I went with 2 stroke for the power to weight ratio and simplicity and perhaps the limitations of my engineering abilities. The 4 stroke multi-cylinder model engines tend to have a low power output. I have not heard of any 4 stroke V12 model engines actualy powering a flying model but would be intersted if you know of any. However, eventually I would like to have a go at a 4 stroke version.
