Ian Jimmerson explains how a Radial Engine uses a Cam Ring Plate with "lobes" on it, to move the "lifter rollers" that are attached to the bottoms of the push rods, which then go up and down, to open and close the intake and exhaust valves at the tops of each cylinder (as opposed to a Car engine which uses a Camshaft with lobes) http://fireaviation.com/2016/01/23/carpenter-builds-wood-model-of-9-cylinder-radial-engine/ Part 1 - 10 min - Part 2 -9 min video

HOW A RADIAL ENGINE WORKS Carpenter Ian Jimmerson has built a huge working model of a 9 cylinder Radial Engine, out of wood with clear plastic tubes on the cylinders, so you can see them go up and down, and carefully explains how all of the parts work together, and he turn the crankshaft slowly by hand so you can see everything moving. This guy should be ( maybe he already is) a teacher. Here is the video link http://fireaviation.com/2016/01/23/carpenter-builds-wood-model-of-9-cylinder-radial-engine/ Part 1 - 10 min video and Part 2 - 9 min video. Now I know how the Radial Engine works!!

COWLING: This kit comes with a beautiful 0.015" thick sturdy Vac-formed Plastic Cowling with well marked cutouts of the engine air cooling holes. I securely thumbtacked the back flashing of the cowling to my workboard, put on a fresh new #11 Exacto blade, and carefully and slowly cut out all the holes with no major mistakes, thank goodness. I then finished them all of with some more thin slices with the blade, and sandpaper sticks and metal files as best I could, and sprayed it inside and out with Metallic Silver which actually turned out to match the fuselage Metallic Silver tissue.
