Dave,
Thanks for your words of support.
Phil,
There is some truth in that, it sure doesn't seem to get any smaller. I may have fallen into the typical amateur designers trap of over engineering. Still it's nice to have pieces I can see without a magnifying glass. Weight wise I suspect it is in the 747 class, power wise, who knows - a very small Cessna. :
Best Regards
Bob

Hi All,
Following on from yesterday, I turned it over and milled the other side
Milled a couple of 45's on the fillets and that's the thing roughed out.
It only needs a heap of blinging - that can wait until after it's finished.
Next week should see a start on the cylinder.
Have a great weekend.

Bob,
I too am a fan of the larger scale engine, simply because I can handle the parts/screws etc. I'm amazed by the talent that can produce the really small stuff. What's "really small stuff"? In my mind, when you take a photo of a whole engine with a US 10 cent piece as a size reference, then you're there. Thanks for the documentation on a really interesting build :bow: :bow: :bow:
Cheers,
Phil

Watching the progress of this project is eye opening and inspiring. Until joining this forum, I have never been inside a machine shop with a pro. Thanks for the detail in your pics. I may never attempt a project like this but it does change my vision of what can be accomplished and how to go about it.
Thanks to you and the others who share this opportunity to watch.

Dave and Jerry,
Thanks for the kind words, support and encouragement. There are many machinists who are members here, whose talents and abilities are way above mine. :bow: :bow:
I was navy, (RAN), trained and priorities were, does what it's supposed to do and fits where it's supposed to fit 1st, speed 2nd, what it looks like a very distant 3rd. It's the last bit that boxes me, but I am trying to learn from the members here who have the patience to achieve No 3.
Best Regards
Bob
