Red Wing Engine Construction
First off I want to get this on record, it's all Neil
Butterfield's fault...
I kept making noises about building an engine and he kept suggesting the
PM Research 1/4 scale
Red Wing (water cooled) hit and miss.
A decent video of it running....
This will not be a full on building blog as others have done this, and one of them quite thoroughly to say the least.
