Radial V. Boxer engines
Hi,
I have noticed by watching the videos at http://www.fulldeflection.com , that the radial engines of the Sukhoi etc, allow more vertical penetration, but all the Red Bull Air Race planes have boxer engines. I would have thought that the radials would have more engine torque, thus pulling the planes around the course quicker. I look forward to some expert input on this. Superdoof.
