Third radial engine I’ve owned and the best one yet. Once thru break in and properly tuned the 5-100 starts easily and runs reliably with a broad and linear power band. Currently on a Pilot Yak 55m-88 spinning a 24 x 12 Falcon prop there’s plenty of power to perform any aerobatics the pilot is capable of. Support for the engine is top notch, just dial the # and Adrian is there to assist. This is my first UMS engine but it won’t be the last!

I have installed the 5-100 in the 1/4 scale Phoenix Waco after the break in process. During the bench running the engine showed great promise. The Emcotech fuel pump was used at 5.5 volts. The ideal prop was a Xoar 25×12 at a bit over 4000 rpm. Idle was as low as 800 but over 1000 is most reliable. All cylinders are firing at all throttle settings. There is a slight lean zone at mid throttle. Richening the idle screw solves this. This is a true 5 hp engine and flies the big Waco with authority. Most flying is at less than 1/2 power. Full throttle on this plane is silly and grossly non scale. Huge loops are possible at 3/4 throttle. The engine is properly baffled. Using 1/32 Amsoil Dominator and 2oz/ gallon Seafoam. The engine is easy to start and so far after 15 flights, no dead stick. I would buy another 5-100.
