If anyone can reach MEM, can you tell me the IP address? I'll try to reach it that way. Chuck Disregard above, doesn't work from here either. If I try ip address, I get a message to contact webpage host. If I try http://www.modelenginemaker.com, I get a index of folders... Chuck |

--- Quote from: Jo on January 19, 2017, 12:32:48 PM --- :thumbup: As I know some of you are missing your fix..... this is one I prepared earlier: --- Quote ---In the beginning Majesco did more than the diesels it is famous for, it did a lovely little side-port petrol engine of 4.5cc. Known as the Majesco “45”, it was one of the first British engine to appear after WW2. The prototype seems to have been developed before the war as the initial claims was that by mid 1946 it had already provided 7 years of service. This little engine is over-square with a bore of 19mm and a stroke of 15.8mm. You could buy it ready to run for a vast £6 10s or for £1 16s as a kit that you could make yourself. This is one of those original kits 8) The aluminium alloy castings are diecast rather than sand so they have a nice silky smooth finish. The design has a few little quirks such as the cylinder being bolted on from below despite that it is renown to be a good little runner and is much favoured by today’s vintage fliers (aircraft not modellers ). Isn't it a cutie and the kits not bad either :ddb: Jo --- End quote --- Jo --- End quote --- Looks a big engine ?? What size is the plug. 10mm ? Largest engine I ever had, (1 + alotofbits ), was a marinised Taplin Twin. Only got it going once :scratch: and just about suffocated in a mates shed. Green anodised water jackets IIRC. T'other was an ED racer ( 2.5CC ??? ) Can't really remember. Back in my model boat days, electrics more my style. Much more dignified. Dave |

Is the big casting to the left an aluminium fuel tank rather that the plastic one of the fully built version? |

I have to decide if I want to fit the competition 3/8" plug or a more in scale 1/4" plug. --- Quote from: Roger B on January 19, 2017, 02:58:08 PM ---Is the big casting to the left an aluminium fuel tank rather that the plastic one of the fully built version? --- End quote --- Yes, that is the easy way to spot a factory built engine from a casting built one that rather sexy red light plastic tank with the engine name around it. I have been looking at the crank, it is interesting, not at all how I would want to make it: It comes as a disc a piece of 5/16" Silver steel (with oxide) and a small diameter very short bit for the pin that all need silver soldering up. But as always I am always up for trying new things, if it goes wrong I can always go back to my preferred solid crank :coffee:. Jo |
