bluesboy Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 The e-mail is editor@modelenginebuilder.com. The hotmail e-mail you sent me bounced when I replied. Please make them high-resolution so they will reproduce well. Copied direct from the camera is best without any intervening saves or edits.Will do.

mrehmus Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 My e-mail can accept files of any size. Full resolution raw files are my preference. Just copy them directly from the camera with no intermediate saves. Alternatively, you can use www.sendthisfile.com to send files of any size via FTP (not e-mail or Web browser). Zip the files together to save having to transfer each file individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrehmus Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Oh, and best if you can get them out from behind the glass. Look at the centerfold pictures on my Web site. Just go to a magazine thumbnail on the left side and click on it to see a small copy of the centerfold picture. The centerfold pictures are always on the lower right hand corner of the Table of Contents. I'm not proposing a centerfold article this time but the flat six might be a nice one to feature in a centerfold. Does your dad attend the GEARS model engineering show in Portland?

bluesboy Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 I decided to take some more shots of Dad's engines in order for you to get a better idea of the actual size of the models. I'm also going to attempt to describe them in better detail. First off is a 45 degree V twin. It aws designed and built by Don Ells (Dad) between 1999 and 2000. It's bore and stroke is 1.000"x1.125". It displaces 29cc or 1,77 cu". This engine has a pushrod valve system. The design goal was to have the engine resemble a Harley Davidson Pan Head of the 1940's and 50's.

bluesboy Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 This is a model of a Barr & Stroud 1/3 scale motorcycle engine. The model was designed by Pieter Dekker and built by Don Ells in 2002. It's bore and stroke is .866"x1.18". It has a displacement of 11.4cc or .695 cu". This model is of a sleeve-valve motorcycle engine produced in the early 1920's by the firm of Barr & Stroud of Glasgow Scotland. The sleeve-valve design is where the piston is located within a sleeve which is located inside the cylinder. The sleeve moves somewhat up and down and rotates back and forth to open and close porting whitch allows this engine to operate in 4 cycle manner.
