Here is my model engine design I'm slowly picking away at. Its based on a Kinner B5. A real one exists in a local aero-museum & I managed to order some documentation out of USA. It's probably biting off way more than I can chew, but.. I'm going to try anyway. As you can see, its a cad 'pipe dream' right now, but even getting this far was fun. I subscribe to some miniature engine forums for similar inspiration. On top of getting proficient on lathe & mill, I figure I will need to mess with welding, brazing & silver soldering here & there. Thats kind of how I stumbled into this nice forum. So you will receive a fair share of dumb questions.

Here is an RC pattern (arerobatic) plane of my own design. I was heavy into flying & competing late 90's up to early 2000's. Some of mine were flown at National & International level. Jeez time flies, they look like antiques already. Anyway, messed around learning composites & molding, made a few do-dads & gadgets along the way.

I also got into RC pylon racing. Started out harmless enough, some local weekend winter stuff called 'club 20' with the boys. Then some faster gassers, then some faster-yet electrics. This pic is from Romania F5D world champs. Thats me, far right (Team Canada). These models go about 350 km/hr, 10 laps around the course, its all over in 60 seconds.
Well, no regrets, but RC competitions take time & energy. I always like working in the shop & figure this would be a good time to focus more on the metal projects in my head.
