Whittle Aero V8 WIP

[Twmaster]

Say Cobra... I know this has been a few days, however, I think I have a spare 4-3 sleeve. IT's yours for the cost of shipping if you need it.

Lemme know ASAP as I am in the middle of moving and I'd love to see it go. NOW.

Tony,
That is against the rules. People with interesting threads are not allowed to get sick. th_rulze
Get well soon.

Tony, have a peek here, http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/news/article.asp?a=6070


Model Engineer web site has uploaded the complete build article for free download on the Whittle V-8.

Thanks for the link, Ron.
Perhaps with a set of LEGAL downloadable plans there will be more interest in the Whittle V8.
I looked at them and they are far better than the bootleg plans that I have seen. I have the original ME set, but for those who don't it will make following along on Tony's build much easier.

I might have to make the time to put this one into Solidworks and make an animation.

Ron thanks for that link. I wanted to make a copy of the plans to keep at work....just to take a peek now and then when I had a question about something.
Twmaster Where are you in MD? PM with address, I'll send PO Money Order for shipping.

Hi Tony,

I think it's going to take me a long time to finish this engine.
Glad to hear you're over your cold and are back in the workshop. Looking forward to some more pictures soon.
