Good memory Dave!
Man those engines scare me, all that mass rotating, and the oil/fuel systems feeding the ends of it!
It just feels like a fire or oil failure waiting to happen.
Neat to see though, I find it to be an interested technological step in aircraft engine design.
I will have to try and see one of those in flight sometime, it sure must look strange to see the cylinders rotate with the prop!
