Very nice Stew, the bling is just the way I like it too. It's supposed to be an engineering artifact not a sculpture but each to his own. If I get my 'poppin' engines finished to a similar standard 1 of those will hit ebay, or even better I thought would be to advertise it for sale at the Model Engineering Exhibition. That could do away with any ebay fiascos. Nick |

Thanks Guys I've decided to hang on to No 2 and sell No 1 after I've rebuilt it, one of the Chaps has got his name on it :D Have fun Stew |

Great work. Amazing how smoothly it runs. :bow: I appreciate you sharing your build and methods :smart: you used to achieve the required precision for a good runner. :headbang: Whats next? :dremel: SAM |

Well Stew, you've done a great job on that engine, and since I just got sort of high speed internet this week, I got to see it run, and it seems to run great. I think your indicating on the "elbow" did the trick for getting the alignment right on, and the engine running right off the bat. I expect to do the same when I get around to building my own "elbow engine". Great job, and great thread showing the whole of it. Cheers!!!! :beer: Mad Jack |

Thanks Chaps Sam next project is to get No1 Elbow running as good as No2 its got a falt with the flu wheel it wobles due to the hub being cracked so thats going to be replaced, I've had a good think and a tinker and I think the reason no 2 runs better is that I made the cylinder using the method outlined in the plans attached. Jack:- Just at little poke :poke: to get you making an elbow I've attache the drawings as planned. OK:- now for the dawings, I think that plans available over simplyfy the design requirement of engine I think this is the reason people strugle to get a runner, in the drawing I've tried to capture my own and John's experiences in getting a successful engine built, I may have overcomplicated the plans the optimum design may be between the two, but I hope they stimulate some of you guys in having a go and successfully build an engine. Cheers Stew |
