Man, Tony I just like looking at that engine...its soooo Awesome!!!
Yeah, the YMF would be the ticket but I might find every excuse not to fly it 'cause I'd be skered to ball it up..
Anyway...I'll let you back to the current fun...

Hi Jeff,
I was emailing the engine mfg'er and he sent me this pic. This is a guy in Denmark with a built radial on a plane I don't recognise. But still nice to look at.
Looks like a nice CAP 21 between the wings on the right

Tony,
Quit showing the pictures of the Radial
Here is the Fleet I was referring to. I want one bad but don't have the time to invest in another project:

I had seen this before, but I don't think I ever posted a link to it. It is John Downie's 3d CAD animated model of the Whittle V8 being assembled. Less than a minute long.

Hi Tony
Hope physio is going well and you can continue soon. The rear housing didnt go quite to plan I earlier broke a 12 BA tap & scrapped a part trying to spark the remains out so decided to do all fixings in 10 BA I milled .805 dia then tapped the 5 holes 10 BA as you can see from photo the thread broke out through the side. The .805 dia & .9 pcd are to size & the difference between 10BA & 12 BA is .016 on dia or .008 a side and it was enough to break through I can only blame old age for the oversight, just found your cad drg I could have used it 2 days ago! obviously some of the tolerancing on this job is going to be critical. The plan now is to use studs for this fixing as per EWs engine so I will super glue studs in then take a run round the .805 bore with a small woodruff cutter to clean up, this should only remove the tops of a very small portion of thread in the bore and leave the tops of the studs complete. The other jobs are to form rads on the top of the 5 screws either source a .06 corner rad cutter or get the file & emery to work, the other is to remove .3 service end from the front of the .833 dia which I used for location.
Keep you posted soon
Cheers

tombstone,
It looks to good to give up on it. Hopfully I get to the shop tonight and start mine. I did a little quickie and got some blue on the surface. I have to mark things out tonight. I had to wait for my jeans to dry. Still had on the Ziut Ziut from work :big: :big: and then ate dinner. Hopfully this weekend I make a little head way. I can tell your from the UK.....BA taps.... I have a set but I doing mine in UNC 0's....1's and 2's. I did a lot of engineering for BT, so I know about those "fixings". I was what the heck are fixings? Oh, you mean hardware. I bought a set of BA's for my Stuart D10, I think they have rusted away by now. I'll have to look in the draw to see if there is a big orange spot :big:
I've got to do a little CAD time to get the coords on all of that. Maybe I'll have a beverage and play with the computer tonight!
