Well i have looked around for long enough and will bring you up to speed so to say on my latest engine.
I am a member of a model boat club here in Melbourne and obtained a model hull from the swap meet a couple of weeks ago, now the original boat was fitted with a Stuart Sirius engine and flash boiler
Well needless to say most of the interior was gone hence the need for a 1" x 1" single acting twin
So during lunch time at work i have started to design up the engine and build it.
It is too be known as the Flash RHS engine because that's where the crankcase came from.
A piece of 65 x 65 x 3 RHS is the crank case
Valve gear will be a rotary cam as per the westbury design of Gemini re worked with a belt drive
So here goes any thoughts ? Queries? or brick bats ? all to be taken gratefully and with good will
Yes Photos to be added ASAP
