Looking very impressive! Will it have a flywheel or prop? Or should I just wait and see? :lol:

Thanks again Chaps
Nick its got a 2" dia fly wheel, not quite decided yet how to bling it if at all but I quite like composite fly wheels brass rim ally hub.
With regards to the valve movement, I've seen a pic of a Elmer radial that uses the same type of valve built with a perspex cover so you can see the action, I think it was built by Marv, if it was, he may be kind enough to post us the pic, if he reads this thread.
Cheers
Stew

I think this is the picture to which you refer, Stew...
The valve seals against the inside of the plastic so it's a bit tricky to lap the valve to just the right thickness to obtain that seal.

Thanks Marv
Much appreciated that perspex cover is a real cleaver way to demonstrate the valve movement.
Regards
Stew
