I am starting to build the #8 engine, two cylinder 90 degree Vee and have a question about material. The back plate, base plate and some other parts are called...
... Im sure that is exactly what Ray intended. I see no reason to start with thicker plate- unless you milled off both sides evenly you would likely introduce...
As I'm new to this group, my question may have already been asked, but has any one fitted either engine #1 or #5 to a launch of 12 feet? I am considering doing...
