CS,

Nice start you got going there. I hear the crankshaft can be the most difficult... I haven't done one that style... yet.

Very good. Keep the build thread going.

Welcome and nice to see you. Is this the same engine that was published in Model Engine Builder magazine? Look forward to seeing your progress
 
Mickey;
This is my semi-final version of the Upshure twin published in MEB mag. Sorry abt interrupting the thread. I probably should have put it elswhere. :-[

Definitely looking good. Looks like you have the hard parts made. I'm sure it will be a fine running engine when it is finished. I'll be watching for it.

Cheers

The crankshaft is not that hard to make just turning/ milling but take it easy

. I glued some small blocks betwin the webs before turning the mainshaft ends.

Crankshafter;
the cam was made on my mill. the stock is held in the rotary table so that the cam blank is in a horizontal position with tail stock support. It is then machined as described by Brian Fairey for his VAL {MEB mag. issue #16 page 10}. Difference is I made it in one piece for the twin as I probably will for the val.

Camera needs macro/manual focus setting--white balance setting--tripod --- shutter time delay-- +/- exposure settings................
I'm using a Panasonic fz8. It has a 12x optical zoom on a Lieca 2.8 lens. Online cost less than $200 which was cheaper than the old cannon that I used for the photos you see. I wish Mike Rehmus would publish his great ideas regarding this kind of photography in a future MEB issue.

regards,
Ray M
