The Minnie was designed by Leonard C. Mason in the late 1960s. I found a used book with the drawings and a how to write up. The scale was 1" to the foot but I have built mine at 1.75" to the foot.

If anyone wants a photo of some detail or just another angle let me know.

Hi

Thanks for the kind words. Makes me want to start something new rather soon. A big project like this takes its toll. Been needing to do a little machine maintenance and a few chores for the wife. Once that's taken care of I will be back in the shop playing. I'm thinking I may now have the needed talents to take a stab at an IC engine.
