Flame Eater Marc - up and running

[PeterB]

I started to build Jan Ridders flame eater Marc in february. And for some days ago I fired it up. It runs good. The only problem is rust. I must clean the engine after every time I've used it. It's no big problem for me, I like to fix with the engines but it can be frustrating when you will show the engine for those who just want to see it run and not see me cleaning it



And here is a movie.

Use preservative oil after use to prevent rust development. Can be purchased at retailers for matitime equipment.

I love the slow-mo. You can actually see the flame getting sucked into the cylinder when the 'gate' opens. Fascinating! And a lovely build.
