Other Projects:

Restauration of a 9 Cylinder Radial Engine Type Lycoming R-680-17 from a US Trainer Aircraft Type Stearman Kaydet PT13.

Date of Manufacture approx. 1938-40

Just arrived, the 9 Cylinder Radial Engine Lycoming R-680-17. Back View with auxiliary aggregates as Starter, Magneto, Suction Tubes and Ignition distributor Cap.

View to the Propeller Shaft. This Lycoming R-680-17 Engine has the Exhausting System on this side, direct after the Propeller (not mounted yet).
Propeller shaft side finished! Lycoming R-680-17 Engine, view to the Propeller Shaft with the mounted exhausting system.
That´s looking for work! Back View Lycoming R-680-17 without auxiliary aggregates. Note the free mounted unshielded ignition cables. Right side visible the Hamilton Standard Propeller.
Some years later, the same Radial Engine Lycoming R-680-17, view to the finished back with ignition cables and auxiliary aggregates.
Bendix Scintilla Double Magneto Type DFN manufactured in 1942, still could power the ignition system of the Lycoming Radial engine R-680-17 after more than 70 years. Down picture the Ignition Distributer Caps.
Was lucky to get these new (new old stock) Champion Spark Plugs C26 for this engine (unshielded ignition for the Lycoming R-680-17 engines) and others, but more than 70 years old !
