    Truly amazing, although I can't help thinking that if I had the skills required to do that I might find something better to use them on

    Watch this classic video for how to make them (and I suspect these ones are even smaller)

    RC plane ones I imagine. You can get some really tiny ones.

    Crank is easy - cams could be scaled down easily using a real cam as the template for grinder/follower - you would get great res on the smaller cams too.

    Its a lovely engine - the bonus is that it runs and not just spinning on compressed air :thumbup:

    Not to take from Eds thread, but these two are also top notch, spot the barbour pole dissy on the IL6,

    These are the same guys that built the model Stu posted - this time running for real,

    The sounds likeness to a v12 Bmw @ 1.30 is something else!

    Brian,
