Does anybody sell model (I.C) v4 to v12 engines, exept Conley precision?

George656 · Jul 1, 2012

Hello

I want to buy an model i.c engine engine, it can be inline 4/v4 to v12 (must have more than 4 cylinders). The engine should be fully built or kit.
I have some knowledge from rc plane and car engines.

So far only engine for sale i have found is v8 stinger 609 from conleyprecision. I know that there are tons of plans for engines, but I dont own a cnc and skills to use it.

Thank you!
George

Hi George,
I wasn't even aware of conley precision until your post, but a nice looking engine. I wouldn't expect to find much mainly because there isn't a large market of people willing to shell out $6000 plus for a model. Actually that sounds rather cheap to me but they no doubt do most of it with CNC equipment. Most of us here would much rather create or build from plans...either ours or others, but if there is anything else out there, I suspect someone here will know of it. Good luck in your search.

I hope so

I my friend has an cnc workshop, i could build one engine with him.
I would like to know how much time would take to build one v4,v8 or v12

Hi George,

Generally speaking, this is a site for makers of Model Engines. The typical member makes his own for his own enjoyment. Generally speaking, no one here is in it commercially.

As a rule of the forum, we request and introduction from our members. We're a tight bunch who like to know whom we have let into our "living room". So as soon as you can could, please post in the welcome section and tell us about yourself.

In general, there's that word again!....if your goal is just to obtain a model engine of more than 4 cylinders, I can recommend 2 people.

One is Conely, well regarded in the fraternity. The other is a German outfit

Good luck.

Hi Ian

I'm sure Dave meant by "a tight bunch" that we are a lot of people bonded together through our passion for home model engineering - not "up-tightness". I know for a fact that Dave welcomes new members to our group and is willing to bust his own chops to help newcomers.

The rules for the "Buy / Sell / Trade / eBay" section clearly states the guidelines for advertising in this section of the forum. If going strictly by the rules, George's request could have just been removed, but rather it was replied to, and George invited to become an active member of the forum.

While I was typing this, Dave furnished a link to the "Welcome" section - That's what we are about.

Kind regards, Arnold

If this is going to be the way prospective and long term members are going to be spoken too ,then this is the last time you will hear from me.
This is not the first time this has happened so please remember "you catch more flys with honey than vinigar"

Good bye,

Ian(seagar).

What happened? Seriously, I read the entire thread and found no disrespect aimed at anybody. What am I missing?

hitandmissman · Jul 1, 2012

I must of missed it too. What happened here???

blighty · Jul 1, 2012

in layman's terms,

the new guy was told/asked to introduce him self, and then it would be decided if he could play in this sand pit and get help.

i think it was the "tight bunch" remark that did it. gives the impression that this forum has some sort of "black ball" system for would be new members.

This guys are starting... It looks really promising to me, the best is that they are less than 3 miles from my house .

I think Ian missunderstood Dave's comment. Dave was just explaining what this forum is about and politely asked for an introduction as required by the rules.

George656 · Jul 2, 2012

Sorry if i broke the forum rules or .... but when i searched for engines on the google, i ended up many times on this site. So i thought it would be good idea to ask some help here, cause this forum is made entirely for model engines.

I find it extremely hard to fathom that my comment could be construed as that.
The admin and mod's on this board have gone to extreme efforts to cultivate the EXACT OPPOSITE of this, not with words but with deeds.

Ian,

If you read back through Dave's posts I'm sure you'll appreciate the fact that he's one of our most welcoming members. The idea that he would construe the forum as some sort of exclusive enclave closed to newcomers is, well, just utter rubbish.

The absence of visual cues in forum conversation can easily lead to misinterpretation of what is said. Before hanging up on a presumed interpretation of several words, give a thought to who said it and his forum history. When you do that with Dave, you'll find no malice, just a generally helpful attitude.

Welcome George.

The engines you are seeking are out there but in a very narrow and specific (read $ expensive $) niche. I've always fancied the Kavan flat twin engine series but could never bring myself to pull the trigger on buying one.

"As a rule of the forum, we request and introduction from our members. We're a tight bunch who like to know whom we have let into our "living room"."

i think that was the whole line that did it and especially "We're a tight bunch who like to know whom we have let into our "living room"."

to some people it could come across that you have to take some form of test for you to be accepted into the forum. i.e seagar.

now I'm not saying your wrong or wright (not my place), just saying why seagar may have gone.

If you have bought, sold or gained information from our Classifieds, please donate to HomeModelEngineMachinist and give back.

Does anybody sell model (I.C) v4 to v12 engines, exept Conley precision?
