Thank you very much for the response. I have a degree in CAD and I'm currently learning Fusion 360 as well as Solidworks and HSM Express. My go to program for many years has been Rhino 3D but as I've gotten more into cnc over the years the limitations of the software were to a point where I felt...

I know there are a number of folks here who have designed miniature engines before and I wanted to ask about the design process. I'm curious about how you go about designing a scale model of a particular engine design. I'm sure there's a trade off between scale and what's needed to make a scale...

I found it. Whew, figured I had it backed up somewhere. Chris

Speaking of the Kamps book. I used to have a spreadsheet that I think came on the gtba CD that had the design formulas. Wish I knew what happened to that CD. Chris

Thanks for the link. I'll look into it. Chris

Thank you very much. Australia is a place I would love to visit some day. Chris

Thanks. I appreciate the info. Chris

Have you ever compared the basic design outlines in the Kamps book with other sources? There's a section in the book where he gives some basic equations to use to modify his design to use different compressor wheels. Just wondered if you had ever checked any of those. Chris

Thank you very much for the offer. I currently have the FD 3/64 book, the Kamps book which I think is the first edition, the gt2000 plans, the mw54 and turboprop plans which I bought as soon as they became available, the wasp h20 plans, the kj66 plans, and now the two you linked to. One of the...

Thanks. Hopefully I'll get started one of these days.

Thanks. I'm north of Columbia.

Just wanted to take a second and say hello to everyone. I've been a member for a short while but mostly I've just been looking around, reading the build articles, looking through the plans. I'm really enjoying the forum and hopefully one of these days I'll get around to building an engine or...

I'm new to the group and this is my first post, but I just wanted to take a second to say thanks for posting the links to the plans as well as your build pictures. I've had an interest in homebuilt turbines since about 1996 and that interest was what first inspired me to buy my lathe. Seeing how...
