RE: Silver Swallow Pulldown
Had another 6 or so flights and its good on an 8x6 Master
I would like to put another couple of weights into the crank web but its running too good to take apart
I spaced the cooling fins up a couple of mm' s, you can see the spacer just above the exhaust collector, as the contra piston was hitting the inside of the cooling fins , because of the extra 2mm stroke
It should last good because that cylinder was quite hard
In the normal Diesel fashion there was good blood on the circle as it barked one of my knuckles , cant show you as I lost the darn camera for about 3 weeks so far
Its quite powerful , I think its a copy of the Webra Mark 1 or Mach 1 ,
It looks like a real Diesel and I have to back the comp off to start it , not like my other 2 diesels which I can just leave the compression set and start ( I wonder why that is ?)
I wouldnt mind doing a rebuild on a 2.5 Silver Swallow if I could find a burned out one
