Finally got around to putting the radial on the dyno on
the back of my golf cart. It required a rather large muffler
and a large pile of steel drums to act as a sound barrier to
keep it quiet enough so the neighbors would not complain about
the noise.

What's the radial engine for?
Chris.
They use those funning looking things in airplanes.
An R985 at full chat (short club prop) that close is an awe inspiring experience!
Brings tears to my eyes and not just because of the dust and hurricane winds :-)
That is Aero Engines Inc. test cell and they run those things for hours
at a time in a residential neighborhood. Aero Engines was there long
before they built houses around them.
