not a homebuilt built engine and it's not on a bench, but it sounds amazing.

200cc 3 cylinder 4st

That must be the best sounding model aircraft I have ever heard yet.

Left me absolutely gobsmacked, Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE the sound of 3-pots!
You guys are right, that thing sounds amazing!

I've loved the 3pot sound since a mate of mine owned one of these about 20 years ago:
(sorry, it's not a plane... and it's not home-built, but it is an engine )

Haha, getting stuck on youtube is termed a 'youtube loop'.

I've fallen into thIs loop on more occasions then I want to admit. It is great though as you can learn a lot. One of my favorite machining channels is owned by Kieth Fenner. Not strictly engine related but certainly things are there that could be seen as skill builders.

I think the most recent statistic I heard/read is that there are 100 hours of new video uploaded to youtube every minute.
If 0.0167% or more of that is model engine related you will never catch up, and that is if you never sleep

My favourite? That is tough... will have to think about that one.

I can't say which engine related video is my favorite. The problem with many YouTube videos is that you loose track of where the video came from and then can't find it afterward.

Oh come on. That is way way out of my league. Maybe some day when I have all day and every day free.

 

[Tinkerer58]

Hey Wizard no matter how many days I have free, don't think I'd ever be able to achieve that. Some talented people out there just makes some of us look like hacks that butcher metal LOL

 

[jwcnc1911]

Wow! What is that? What is it powered by? I can't read the text.

Some one translate please! Is that a Stirling? It even appears to have a governor.

A couple of pics to of construction of these master pieces. I'd say the profiles are chemicaly etched, that would be the best way to get such fine detail

Well one thing for sure retirement, if I make it, is so far away I don't have to worry about making one of those anytime soon. After watching that video, hall of my machining looks like hack jobs in comparison.

 

[Tinkerer58]

Well I'm 55 and retirement is also a long way of for me, I told the Mrs we should retire now, enjoy life while still quite fit and when we run out of money and not so agile anymore then go back to work. It's all wrong, first your too young and broke to enjoy life and then you work, when you finished your too old or ill to enjoy your fruits and then your bloody kids get to enjoy when you kick the bucket.

It is solar powered.
