Couldn't resist putting it together just to see what it looked like.

I wonder how a whittle would scale up till a man could see it (Double )
would that be possable?
Pete

At least one person in the UK is working on a 150% Whittle build. He got a friend of his in Spain (I think) to scale up the drawings and make full 3D CAD plans. I think it is a great idea. I don't see why 200% would not work either.
 
I just found this thread, great work there.

I found the plans for this a week or two ago and am thinking of giving one a go, so, can I ask whether you think a peatol lathe and x2 mill would be up to the job?

Thanks

Ian
 
They should be fine, you don't need anything too big for this engine. Good luck.

Your head looks outstanding Rob, great workmanship.
I guess one more to go?
 
I managed to finish the other one last night. Just need to cut the valve seats now but I'll wait until I have the valve guides in first. Might put the heads on the engine later just to see what it looks like.

Looking great, Rob. This engine is on my engine build wishlist.
 
Lovely work, Rob. The Whittle is beautiful engine and your example is among the best.

Will you use it in a model RC? I would like seeing it flying!

The heads with valve guides and the valves - they're very small!

Thanks Steve, I see you've been busy too. Stunning work you do. :bow:
Just finished the plugs, they started life as Enya 3s, I've also turned the thread off and re-threaded M5 Fine.
