First engine
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 11:23 am
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I finally got round to trying to build an engine, I started to build using the walking beam plans and ended up with a standard Gamma configuration.
After a few hours work and a couple of rebuilds IT WORKS!
It only runs for a few seconds and needs a lot of oil to make the seals good but, not bad for a first effort.
Next one will run for longer and produce a bit of useful power (hopefully).
Does anyone have any plans or links to engines that can produce useful power 500w or thereabouts.
Thanks
