Hi Gail! Glad to hear you are doing better. My thoughts are with you. Eric

Hi Don... Do you have any still pictures? Eric

One piece! They look nicely done with the cooling fins. Fits the role of a radial (One of my favorite engines)

Yup. That is a nice model. When I was in high school, we still had a vocational program. Machine shop, welding etc... Check that. I just went back and looked. The votech is still going strong in my hometown. The machine shop program is now called "Mechanical & Manufacturing...

Hi Jim Fantastic model. Do you have more pictures of it? Thanks Eric

Mcmaster Carr has them. MXL Belts Eric

I had bought a SX2 base with the intentions of extending my X2's Y axis with it. The SX2 base has 30% more travel in the Y axis. It is a direct swap out for the X2... you would only need the correct lead screw for it or if you are CNCing your mill, make a longer ballscrew. LMS has them 20 TPI...

Ok. That is pretty cool!

Hiya Peter Welcome to HMEM. Nice little shop you have there! What is a paramotor? Eric

Hey Dave Got a link? Eric

I gave my brother in-law one of Elmer's engines. It sits on his desk at work... he works with a bunch of engineers. Same story, the day he brought it in, nothing got done. When they are in his office, it is always in someones hands. Ha! Eric

Are you looking for an insert or a new boring bar? McMaster Has some boring bars with .5 shank... $16 to $19 link Eric

Derp! You are correct. Wasn't thinking about that.

Thanks! I like that design. I think I am going to try to imitate it? I saw that rysium used gas springs with six inches of travel. Is that what you used? Do you find it limiting? Also, did you make your pulleys? Eric

Hey Alan... Do you have pictures of your version? I am curious to know how it works as well? Did you use the same gas springs? Eric
