Hello All,
I just finished posting three HD videos of the Pip Radial Engine's initial runs
after a two year storage. Videos were shot this past April, but were cut short
by a failed valve clip at 9000+ rpm. The original valve clip was installed in
2004. Fortunately, there was no damage to the cylinder or piston as the valve
floated while the engine continued to run on Cylinders 2 and 3.
The valve was replaced and the engine is back together. I hope to get in some
more good runs and post updated videos before the weather turns too cold.
Pip is presented as a construction article in Issues #24, 25 & 26 of Model
Engine Builder. http://www.modelenginebuilder.com/issuetwentyfour.htm
Videos can be found at

Multiple resolutions are posted from standard thru 720p HD.
Enjoy,
Todd.
