I might suggest you look at using a hub with three threaded holes this is current practice on our Rc engines and electric motors props are usually 6 mm holes with three short grub screws to prevent prop or spinner slippage long threaded bolts and studs at relatively old fashion to put it “...

Ha ha nice job re cycling tools !

I went the other way I started out as machinist then to tool maker maker then mech Eng school for 5-6 years actually longer as I got into deeper physics along the way I did auto mechanics part time so tools and their use became second nature. Surprisingly kids now day don’t know standard tools...

I wouldn’t go wit h operating magnetos . Whether they would even work is problematic . Wimpy purchase a 12 cyl electronic ignition from C&H ignitions and be done with it.

Welcome to the forum from Tenn long time engineer K 9!dog trainer Rc modeler ( giant scale warbirds)

TIG is not something you simply pick up the torch and piece of wire filler. It takes patience and practice then some knowledge of material and tungsten More advanced machines have more features to learn to use I worked in shops without all the bells and whistles yet managed to pass all the...

I’ve used the tuned pipe manifolds and headers shown in aluminum with glow engines. These held up pretty well . But repair if needed even though I’ve been around precision TIG for a long time is nearly impossible once glow fuel gets in them . Cleaning is the issue . TIG requires perfectly...

Vey nice good job

I do a number of top fuel race car headers in stainless if you use one level higher numerically than the base level material you usual don’t have trouble if you back fill . It’s expensive as you can use incredible amount of argon on 2 1/2” dia systems I did a lot of industrial finiky...

Very interesting I had called a local heating company and was referred over several transfers to some boiler inspection department. The guy tol me that as long as I was going electric heat I did not need inspection . It was too small for them to bother with . They said I could not use a fuel...

I’ve been in Rc aircraft since it began warbird were my thing so scale functioning exhaust was considered the cats meow. TIG welding thin aluminum tube in tight quarters is very hard . I switched to copper tube and standard fittings by careful trimming you c 60% ofvthe weight off copper welds...

Try getting some cero bend low melting point metal McMaster carr has several. It’s no real expensive . You fill the tube with it bend it then if you used the real low temp stuff you just put the tube in boiling water and It flows out leaving a nice bend . I YHINK you can get it on Amazon too .

Going another direction, ther we’re sever model plane in line twins years remember right they had a knuckle joint in the crank forvthe cylinders I think there was a pressed in pin for rods these were two stroke glow engines . I can’t even remember the brand O.S I think was one they are very...

LOL on the saw blade would not cut wood but did the job on copper.

Welcome to the group. I from Minn but now in Tenn. nice note on drills I had forgotten about hat I had to look it up.

Well we attempted-to fly the giant scale P51 but sadly something malfunctioned and it crashed. We spent most of today looking over pieces . So far nothing stands out. We had made a list of every thing that bolts itbis fastened together and about everything that moves . Even the radio control was...

Kinda fun being the patriarch of the family.

Just recovering from biggest birthday party of my life. All 17 of the family had dinner together. Yum yum .

Good idea to take it easy . Noting air bags. I accidentally fell out of bed a couple nights ago dumb but my fall detector did not go off either
