model engineering at its finest.

and welcome back :)
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

It is impressive.

It would be even more impressive if they got it to run on fuel, instead of pressurized air.

Here's another one Carlos, a 1/8 working RR H24 cylinder Eagle.



I used to belong to the Aircraft Engine Historical Society and on their forum was a board which was completely full of members working scaled down engines they had built.
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

All that needs now is the 1/8 scale Wyvern prototype to match it..........  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Fantastic stuff.

Last year at one of the modelling shows in .nl, there was a guy showing off a 9-cylinder radial. Wonderful seeing it run.
