Whittaker "Firefly" 0.46 glow engine
« on: July 29, 2012, 03:53:20 PM »
The build series for this engine started in Model Engineer magazine a few issues back but there were few photos to go with the text. As it was meant to be a beginners engine I decided to knock one up and take a series of photos that could be posted on the ME website for anyone thinking of building the engine.


The full set of construction photos and my brief descriptions can be found here for those interested, if not  here is the video and a couple of stills.











The drawings can also be downloaded from the following, there is also a fun £D rendering that can be manipulated.
