Absolutely flawless copper work... simply gorgeous. Incredible achievement .
@aerowez Жыл бұрын
The copper was all laid down by electroforming - a difficult process to do accurately at home. Than you for your kind comments.

yes it took about 5 years. Probably about half of that was spent thinking..........and thinking!

I’m speechless! Any more photos of it being built would be wonderful. You are some engineer! Bravo!

Many thanks Steve. I'll try to organise some more pictures

If you are interested in the build of this engine you can read about it in the RCM&E model aeroplane publication. Sept 23 issue covers the project nearing completion so to get the whole series from the start you would have to obtain back issues to the start of 23,maybe even late 2022. Definitely worth the read!

Spectacular work, magnificent achievement! Building or rebuilding a vintage engine is a satisfying challenge, but building or rebuilding the engine to run is the pinnacle of builder/rebuilder's art. Thank you for your efforts and sharing them here.

Thank you Tom. Reading comments like yours makes it all worthwhile as it can be a solitary pursuit.

Love the way it's tethered to a tree to discourage take off! An absolutely exquisite piece of work. Congratulations!

Wow, wonderful 👍👍

Wow, it sounds so smooth compared with the later larger capacity machines. Superb work, thank you. A bb crank, so presumably splash lubrication to save weight - not a bad idea for a low torque engine I'd say.
@aerowez Жыл бұрын
yes it is very smooth. The Company made a point of saying their engines would NOT be reliant on splash. However, as I couldn't be certain how effective the pumped supply would be in the model I fill oil to a level just below the crank sweep and trust that mist will rapidly build up. I also use a little in the fuel, about 50:1 as back up.

Tnx. For ceeping history alive👍! How is the engine lubricated? Castor oil in the fuel?

I use a modern semi synthetic in the sump which is pumped into the hollow c/shaft. Fuel is 40/1 using the same oil.

A great technical work!. Since you already have a V 2x4, you can try W 12 (3x4), for example Lorraine Dietrich 12Eb 450hp. I have not heard the sound of a plane motor in the W12 (3x4) layout yet. There are still many interesting and available in aviation museums such engines but asleep. Since you already have a V 2x4, you can try W 12 (3x4), for example Lorraine Dietrich 12Eb 450hp. The truth is, your work is impressive end unique.

Ha! thanks for your kind remarks but this one was quite complicated enough for me. I deliberately chose a pre WW1 example thinking it might be easier than something from mid century like the LD or the Lion. There are indeed many engines asleep, as you say, but most of them lead nowhere, whereas the little ENVs in the hands of young pilots like Sopwith acted as a spur to development that lead to a great industry. Another engine of mine, the Lynx which you may have seen on my channel, was regularly flown by Whittle and (in its lack of power at altitude) _may_ have got him to dream of a turbine engine to get him higher & faster. These are the human connections I find so inspiring.

The peak of (British!) engineering ingenuity, truly impressive…..
