Half Built Half Wit and 2 "Tamed TD's"
Not quite contest material but...... Heres a couple of things I'm doing. Half built Half Wit, Jeremy Chinn's (aka Matchlessaero) design. And something I'm especially excited about two throttled TD's ala Dickeybird. I'm thinking of a 150% LS for the one TD. I don't know what I'll do with the other. I had the parts for two so I built two.

Hi Ya 'all thanks for the responces. AJ, I didn't think of entering it because I didn't design it, but hey for you ( Joe "hell I build a twin engine from scratch, it's easy") to say my meger project is worthy, well I'm flattered and thank you. Your piont is well taken and I'd wear the shirt with pride even for a last place entry. But I'm not sure it would fall within the rule guidelines. With that said, I read the rules today and I need to contact Mr. Donatelli to see if I can vote in the contest.
Jeremy are you kidding me? Hell ya you can put it on your websight. All I did was glue a bunch of sticks together, It's your talent that created the plan I was just following your excellent outline. I will post more pics when it's done.
Roger, They both are throttled per Dickeybirds specifications. It's an easy modification that anyone can do (that's what I love about it.) Milton has done all the "Brain" work and research, (thank you Milton) all we have to do is build it and, it can be done with simple tools. The hardest part is aquiring the correct parts and even that's not a big deal. Read the thread Prole posted, or get a copy of the January 2004 Flying Models mag. If you need the piston reset tool save yourself a bunch of time and just contact ajcoholic for it, (better price, better tool). Here's a better pic I think you can see the throttle sleeves in this one.

Hey your welcome rog. I really need to get a small scroll saw. I cut all mine by hand, What a pain! I was going to start covering mine today but I got a phone call from my daughters school. She broke her arm playing soccer, so the planes on the back burner for now. Keep us posted on your progress and let's all thank Jeremy for a very cool plane!

RE: Half Built Half Wit and 2 "Tamed TD's"
No problem Andrew. I said it because it's true. I had previously attained a .049 tool from another MFG (lt's just say they sell alot of diesel products) and it needed some reworking befor I could use it. The bore in the holding fixture was too small. And the grove for the connedting rod had a big bur in it that needed to be removed befor it could be used. I got the .09 tool from you and it was perfect right out of the package.
