Hi Colin,
Im located near Collingwood and have been building engines for the past couple years. Im currently working on a 1/7 scale Otto Langen. Would be interesting to get the Ontario crowd together at some point.

Thanks! Yes does seem to be a good running little engine. All painted now and recieved the mixer casting so I finished it up tonight. Someone had posted some videos of cabin fever up on you tube the other day and they walked past a small gade running... might have been yours.
Well I finished the gade and I must say they were some of the nicest castings I have worked with. I have not recieved the fuel mixer yet but I did put one on that I had laying around so I could start it. Time to paint now and move onto the next one.

I have only ever used iron rings but noticed a few guys have used the o-ring the gade model. I think I will stick with the iron aswell. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will just have to spend a little time and come up with a fixture. Yours looks great, did you use the iron piston ring or use an o-ring? I have only spent a few hours on it so far but it looks like it will be a fun little build. Tyler
