Welcome.
Your work experience should be very valuable in making model engines.

Any idea what you may want to build?

i would like to start with a hoglet twin, and after that maybe some stirling motors.
I don`t like to use casting, but machine everything from massive material
Basicly i am interested in almost every IC motor too

How about a Frisco Standard single marine engine?

That is what I really want to build next.

Very unique cylinder head arrangement with a side shaft driven by helical gears of the same diameter.

Hi Theo,
Welcome to the forum! What about a radial engine? I built the Edwards radial 5 ( see my thread of this build).
Milling the camring on a conventional machine gave me a real headache but on an CNC machine this should be a piece of cake.

Groeten uit Rotterdam,
Jos
