Ounce in a while I hear a newbie mention that they built a engine. Even though they are excited that they built it and it runs great they are somewhat reluctant to show it to other modelers. They think that their skill level might not be up to par with someone that has been doing this for 30+ years. Especially on a forum like this with so many great people. I think with 100% of modelers, we are our own worst critic. We think that there is always something that we could do better. Usually we are right and we do it on our next model. Thats how all these old guys got so good:O) I would like to encourage those people to post some pictures here. Everyone has to start somewhere. My first engine was a simple rotary valve job. But I was so excited when it ran. My wife got sick of hearing about it:O) Here is a quick picture of it in all its glory:O)
I lost the plans for this years ago, If anyone has them I would really like a copy:O) I know I changed it a bit but you can recognize it by the copper tube on top.
Later, Wes
