John, It's one thing to make a mere model of an engine the size of a half dollar, but to make one run, especially a 4 cycle with valves , carb, and some type of spark apparatus. I'd like to know why they make a spark plug about the size of a ball point pin tip! |

Rat's I hit it too soon.
I didn't mean "why" but rather "how"... |

I'd like to know why they make a spark plug about the size of a ball point pin tip! How? Carefully. I'd like to see his shop and the tools he uses to make the engines. I always thought model airplane engines were marvels, but this guy takes the cake. I'd love to have one, just to put on the desk and start once in a while. But, I'd like to spend a week with the guy building one even more. -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |

The five cylinder radial engine is simply amazing. No kidding! I've been around some people that are highly skilled and love doing unimaginary machinging for a hobby, (but non like this!), and I've found them to either be really laid back and talkative, or very quiet and straightforward. But either way it seems they are a bit eccentric. And thats not really bad either. Maybe they're truely infected with "binary thinking?" |

My uncle was an aviation machinist, and very bright on top of that. He always had something going on! He once built a fold-out tent camper that was just cool as hell! He even sewed all of the canvas on an industrial sewing machine that he got for a few bucks because he had to fix IT! This camper worked like a charm, he used conduit for the arms, and it would set up in just a few minutes. Had windows in it that zipped down, and he got the zippers from somewhere that made them, they were seconds and he had a big box of them. Looked a little funky because they were all different colors, but he was frugile, too! |
