Post by un1corn »

V8 model aero engine, the support frame here is just that, it is not the fuselage mount.

Awesome, especially with all its incredible detail and complexity.
Well done. I can appreciate the hard won skill, knowledge, and effort to create this kind of assembly.
Can hardly wait for the next one!

Hi Guys, Sorry the FreeCad file is too large to include here.
The original drawings came from the 'Model engineer' magazine published in parts over the period April 1995 to May 1996, I do not remember where I actually found it on the net.
I will root around to try and find the source and post the link here when I do.
This engine is 10cc and is approx' 75mm in length, will fit in the palm of adult.
