I have been searching vigorously and came across this: http://www.rctech.net/forum/exclusive-nitro-engine-zone/112190-sleeve-pinching-2.html A definite move in the right direction :big: :big: ---edit--- I now need to find out what amount of taper is build into the sleeve, so I can make a die...

Thanks man! Google has actually pointed me in that direction already ;) I will go and see my local meterial supplier this afternoon about meehanite cast iron, and get my project going. It looks easy enough, except maybe for the heat treatment part.... That might take a few attempts to get it...

I have, like many of you guys a number of hobbies. Due to the economic state of the world, it is now becoming more and more difficult for most of us to maintain all our hobbies :( This is where three of my favourite hobbies meet: r/c cars and aeroplanes, computers and model engineering. First I...

Thanks! Looks like the stuff I need. Cheers!

Hi there guys! I did a quik search, but still need to ask my qeustion... I have an old ENYA .60 r/c engine that I would like to put back to life. This engine was given to me years ago, missing one of two piston rings, the carby and the muffler. This engine is no longer in production, so spares...

So many things on my wish list.....

Thanks for the advice ??? I'm going to remake a few parts to incorporate some form of adjustment in the design, i.e. the stroke, compression ratio and the choke size. Cheers C.B.

So I finally assembled it... All the organs that (should) make a Laminar flow engine tic are there. First of all, thanks for advice in a previous topic that one shouldn't mount the engine permanently or finish everything off before running the engine... because it won't run... I'm still a long...

I had similar experiences on other lists, but not on HMEM. I for one lately only follow the "recent" posts (time, time time...), so if I don't visit the list for a day or two, things go past me... and that may be true for many other members. Of course, your questions are maybe a bit...

I am maybe the only one that don't know this, but someone please spell it out!! What does "SWMBO" mean?? Must be something about someone living with you that wastes precious money on useless things, rather than invest in good machinery ;D

First thing I noticed was the little airplanes hanging from the ceiling. I have 2 models hanging from the ceiling in the "spare room" in the house. The "spare room" was converted to a "study" a few years ago. All part of carefull planning to turn the room into an extension of workshop! All my my...

Looking good! I'll definitely follow. My first project, a Laminar Flow, is nearing end, and I think my next project will be a Stirling fan. I'm looking for drawings - any suggestions?

I replaced my 100mm chuck with a 130mm. What a difference! Still can't get over it that just 30mm put the machine in a different league! Now to get on with the milling attachment...

Pity the stuff is becoming a little hard to come by now, and yes Cedge, your friend is 100% correct in saying that the magic was lost in the pre-designed kits. I was real excited to find Meccano kits in a toy shop not long ago. I opened a box with trembling hands (not that bad really ;D) only to...

I dug out my old Meccano set the other day with the in tension of cleaning it up for my son to play with. Actually my son is only one year old, so daddy will play with it in the meantime ;D ;D (easy to convince mommy to fork out some cash for toys if you can convince her that you want to buy it...

Tomorrow maybe? :) :big: {me bouncing up and down in anticipation}

I've been toying with ideas the whole morning!! (distracting me from what I SHOULD be busy with :D ) I am thinking of ideas to keep the design and construction as simple as possible, as I don't think I would use it often enough to spend major cash and time on a dedicated grinding machine. I am...

Agree. Why would one want to grind a crank by copying a master? I've never seen or heard of this being done (or am I misinformed?) All you need is to be able to offset the mains so that the big-end is concentric with the spindle - like they do it in 1:1 Got some qeustions, but I don't want to...

Nice! Great idea! Thanks for sharing! This forum has opened up a world of possibilities to me that can be achieved with minimal equipment. To be able to achieve the results in an unconventional way is much more fun than it would be otherwise. I've already seen some seriously puzzled facial...

Can't let this one go by! Can I also have the plans please? I'm sure I'll put it to good use sometime in the foreseeable future!
