New member here. Just joined today.
Always have been interested in model engines. Dad was a machinist, had a small shop in the cellar where I got my start. Went to school for machine shop. Spent 25 years in the trade in tool crib work. Bought machine tools for the garage when I opened a small business. Closed the business, kept the machines.
Built a small 2 cylinder air/steam engine years ago. Drew up plans for a V-4 engine then radio controlled planes caught my eye. Building planes for the last few years now thinking about getting back into engines. This forum may be what gives me the push. Forums sure did it for the aircraft!
Anyway, great to meet you all. Hope I can help in some small ways as I hope someone would help me when I need it (God knows I need help!!). Have an idea for the V-4 but need help on the camshaft. Be talkin' wicha soon.
