First, let me say Dean I think,.... hope....I'm sure.... your right.
Tonights Fun...finished side 2. I cut the angle down to 3 deg. and believe it really should be zero (the drawing is deciviing). I know I can work with what I have.
So here goes the pics

Tomorrow the inside out

Tony,
I think you are even more persistent than I am. Dean's right. Third time.

Seriously, it is looking good.

Thanks Gail,
You know the drawing throws you off, at least I thick. That lower front face looks like an angle. The way it blends into the outside edges. But now after seeing it there is no angle. The side tapering gives that effect. Your right, I am a persistant SOB. I have it in my head I will I will I will. Someone mentioned on the Yahoo the the cam should be mirrored so it will run clockwise (as view from the pilot seat). There are a lot of European engines even to this day that run counterclockwise. Today, I went to the hobby shop to order a pusher prop (10x7- 11x6) so I can turn backwards and see if the airfoil will work, by the pics at Tower Hobbies it look like it will.

Talk about advanced planning :big: a little incentive and figure out what the hub dia should be and do I have to reverse the cam.

It looks great. I was going to offer to draw it up in 3D if you sent the drawing for the oilpan over. I suspected that it was the blending of the surfaces because an angle wasn't called out. Of course these model engineering prints aren't always to the same standard as the aerospace firm I worked at ten years ago. Then again, most company's I've worked at since aren't to that standard. Looking at it now that curved line ending short of the front face is the giveaway.

The pusher prop will work if the engine turns the "wrong" way.

Greg,
Thanks, and thanks for the thought of drawing for me.

That's a nice, ambitious project. It ought to keep you busy for a good long while. I'll be following along.

 

[zeeprogrammer]

This thread is a great example to everyone of patience and persistence, not to mention quality.

I'm always surprised by how small it is. I can't wait to see it running.

Here I touch off on Z and zeroed the DRO (not you zee :big

Yeah...I saw that. Most people know I'm not good for a touch. ;D

Tony,
You have probably already seen this video that was posted on youtube a couple of weeks ago, but if not enjoy. It will provide you some additional incentive, not that you need any. And even if you have seen it, I am sure that some of the others following this thread will enjoy it. Builder is in the UK.
