I am fortunate to be able to get some radial engine time on occasion such as yesterday on a Wasp Junior. Pulled through 9 blades prior to start to prevent any hydraulic lock damage and counted four blades on the started prior to selecting the mags on.
This two part series gives a good view of the inner workings of a radial. The guy seems to be good at woodwork as well....

That was excellent. I've never understood much of how a radial works before.
The guy is very good at teaching people.
Probably very liberal from the looks of him.

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience often comes from bad judgment.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.
