vette dude Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 These are pictures of the mold, still a work in progress, the inside needs to be touched up a bit, and the edges need to be trimed, but overall, i am verry happy with the way it turned out.

dcairns Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 do you have a link to a cheap vacum? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Go to ebay and do a search on "GAST pump". This is the sort that I use. They are true antiques, but they work well. Vaccum Pump,gast ,115 volt look www.acp-composites.com Vacuum Bagging Equipment and Supplies I didn't know they made a Radix for model airplanes <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Believe it or not, I do have a supercharged model airplane engine. It is a bit of a strange animal. Although it is a four stroke engine, complete with a cam and valves, it does not use a spark plug (glow plug) and passes the fuel/oil mixture through the crankcase like a two stroke does!!!. The weirdest part is the way it does the supercharging, it uses the down stroke of the piston to compress the air in the crankcase (two downstrokes per intake cycle). It also has a built in fuel pump that pressurizes the fuel tank and a kind of throttle body fuel injection system. It is supposed to make 3 HP. Not bad for 1.4 cubic inches And do not want to get your fingers near the 16 inch prop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver HO Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do they make this engine in a 6.0 liter? That would be about 780 HP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
