Come along Mate.

Why cannot I find any 7-cyl engines? Am I supposed to know all their names?

Sounds awkwardly slow. You are usually quicker.

A Salmson radial then?

If I named the engine I would expect the aircraft to go within a couple of minutes.

You guys both got something ready to post if I do?

That's how I've always searched if its something I don't recognise or at least have an idea about. May not be the quickest but it works for me!

Not a Salmson.

You did say it was a 9 cylinder did you not.

My question was technical and about Aerofiles. It seems that searching for a 7-cyl engine aircraft returns zilch. I wonder what is the reason.

I said 9, Ken said 7.

No, RD thought it was 9 cyl...it's actually 7 cyl.

Perhaps using Aerofiles for the search as I do works after all! If I do a search for a 7 cylinder radial I get loads of different engines :)

oh yes, like a Jacobs, por ejemplo!

Just ran my own test. If I name the engine, you should get it in under 60 seconds!

Not a Jacobs RR.....

Ready, steady.......

GO.........

Continental A-70

Cabinaire A-70 ?

Good enough LM....it's the Paramount Cabinaire A-70, from 1930.
As it was the 3rd line of data on the Aerofiles seach I figured it should not take long. I got Sue to do the search...she found it in 50s!

All yours mate

Nice one Ken. :ok:

Found it without the engine, but only by luck.

A good day so far......

In that case it was good hunting mate!

Another American offering?

Sobering experience :*

9-cyl radial, cantilever?

Not American this time - bye bye Aerofiles.

7 cylinder radial

almost cantilever

Better send her down here for a while then!

French LM?

French? A bit like S.P.C.A. 80?
