Default another radial question

Having said that, they are still used a lot. I've heard that one nice
thing about radials is instant power response.


Humm, not quite what I have heard.

Like all geared engines, (most radials do have the shaft speed reduced
though gearing, I believe) you have to roll the power on smoothly, if you
want them to last.
