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! |

I'd like to know why they make a spark plug about the size of a ball point pin tip! You might still be able to buy the small spark plugs. I remember when I flew model airplanes in my youth, that some kits got one of the early .60 motors. Straped it to a sawhorse and started it up in the basement. Their mother made them sell it when she saw the sawhorse being pulled across the basement. But the interesting part was it was a 2 stroke, with spark ignition and coils. Not a glowplug engine. |
