A heavy flywheel helps the engine to run smooth, and try to use ball bearings everywhere you can!

Hi Faizal,

I'm Wong, in Singapore. I've just started in building my first engine (the millie). Do you have a good number of people in M'sia having the same hobby?

Also, any good place there to buy accessories and tools for small lathe/mill like the sherline? I'll be going in to PP and JB 2nd week of Dec. Want to find stuff not available in SG.

Thanks.
Wong

I used Bill Reichert's plans. They are excellent with great construction tips and detailed procedures.
Not free but cheap.

You get the drawings and construction notes from bill's website.
Bill has passed on but his widow, Phyllis, still sells the plans.
