14 Piston Radial Piston Engine Model

This is a 14 Piston version of the Radial Engine model by plusalphaDesigns.

To assemble: Align two of the 7 piston cylinderblocks so that the 8 square holes are lined up. Use 8 of the Snap pins to fix the cylinderblocks together, a file and sandpaper will help get at tight fit. Next connect the Rotor Prop, Rotor handle, and Center pin 14 through the 2 cylinderblocks. Next assemble the the 7 piston hubs, rods, and pistons in each block. I used some PTFE grease on all the moving parts.

For the propellor, use the Prop, Prop Housing, and Rotor Prop Link. Align the prop link with the preveiously installed Rotor Prop and snap the Prop housing into place.

Print the Propellor on its edge. This will allow for less supports.

Thanks to the orignial designers for their great work. I completed the 7 Piston convertion before I noticed that plusalphaDesings had remixed it. However, the Propellor assembly should still
