Hi everyone, My name is Tom Young, and I just received the R-220 plans. I don't have a plane yet... don't even have a pilot's license. But I have a decently...
Tom, Just a word of advice to hopefully save you some frustration. The R220 plans I received were unbuildable. They were missing several important prints and...
Thanks, Ron. I had read your earlier post and asked Andy yesterday if the current plans had incorporated the corrections (no reply just yet). I can say that...
Ron is correct. We did have an embarrassing amount of errors in the prints. A bad habit of fixing the error on the part and not going back to the computer and ...
Like the commercial says----Not exactly. I modeled all the parts in 3D using our ProEngineer software. I reported most of the errors. There are still issues...
I finally went and built a small furnace for casting. There are other projects beside the engine which require it otherwise I wouldn't bother. My question is...
Check out budget casting supply's website. They sell a jupiter blend sand very cheap, and it's real good stuff. 100lbs for around 125.00 shipping included....
Thanks Andrew, I was going to make permanent molds for the engine parts since I've heard that they have less porosity and are otherwise better than sand cast...
<snip>... My question is about sand for sandcasting... specifically the 200 mesh silica I bought...I plan on mixing it with bentonite per CW Ammen's recipe... ...
I was going to cast the cylinder head and subhead as they will be customized with more fins etc. Alloy is 356. I was considering melting some of my 2219 or...
Jim: If you do decide to play with the silica mix, make sure that you wear the appropriate respirator. Silicosis starts with the first snort and it is not a ...
I know the HCI guys monitor this. Don't know if you noticed, but the timer on your domain name expired mid last month. You need to feed some coins to the...
Nice looking work Jim. I'd love to try some casting, liquid metal on a third floor balcony would probaby get a darwin award or a guest appearance on Jack Arse!...

Sorry about the web site, I will get the web buys money and the site will be back up. As soon as I have some time I plan to update and simplify the site. Jack...
Mark, I'm sure your neighbors would be delighted with you for making their place smell like a private corner of hell! (lol) I'll make a webpage of the mold in...
The balcony has concrete tiles floating on polystyrene insulation. I haven't done any welding or casting out there, as I have visions of a spark going down the...
I'm new here. I'm also wondering if stock VW heads and cylinder sleeves could be used to make a dual row radial engine. This way one can use the VW heads...
You won't do a four stoke radial with an even number of cylinders, because you can't get a balanced firing order. Because every cylinder only fires every...
Hello John - a copyof my post of 30 Oct to Miniature Internal Combustion Engines ***** (snip) I looked at some of my previous sketches (occupational hazard of...
The HCI site should be available. I was wanting to update and change some things but I will need help doing that so I just got what was there back up. Thanks...
If you want to use the VW head why not just cut the head and re-weld it with a piece of scrap head in the same manner that the 1/2VW heads are? I have 2 of...
If you are interested in a single system that will provide electronic ignition and electronic fuel injection there is a company that I have dealt with that...
I have started to build a 1 cyl engine using the hci drawings as a starting point and as many off the shelf parts as possible. The engine will be for...
Just another plug for Tracy Crook and Real world solutions. I have been on the ACRE's rotary engine group for about six years now, and Tracy has a rock solid...
