Hello, all. My name is Phil. I'm a 42 year old machine hobbyist, LEO by profession. Live in the Northern Virginia region.
One of the things on on my list to build is a glow engine, thus I found a fitting forum to borrow and share ideas.
Past projects include air rifle builds, real firearm builds, watches, and various gadgets as gifts, such as pens. All things mechanical fascinate me. I have a little machine shop in my garage to feed the madness.
Been in the RC hobby for nearly 20 years now with the last 10 years designing and building my own craft. Everything from fixed wing to multi-rotor VTOL craft; drones. Though, long ago made the electric switch and have no glow engines in the box-o-gadgets.
Came up with a four cylinder, two-stroke, cross-plane crank engine that soon will have chips flying on the lathe and mill. Just waiting for the bar stock to arrive. It will work out to be roughly 16cc. Much like an inline four motorcycle engine with four carbs. Seems like Kawasaki beat me to it after reviewing recent Japanese patents...
Seems like it will work, let's see together!
