some needs to build a reversable engine where a spare crank is needed and liner for all these new rear engine planes any ideas i see it bolting right onto the front of crank case, carb and everything just reversed am i too late bet its already been done
I have an OS FS-61 reverse camshaft (and a couple of engines). I wanted to be able to run a twin without the problems of BOTH engines rotating in the same direction. I am now having a look at milling/routing a pusher prop using a tractor prop as a template.
Swapping a cam is easy (I have the timing gen) but have not progressed with reversing the template following mechanism. I bought a book on making a CNC mill, decided life was too short to attempt to learn so many new things.
I guess I just love these thought experiments.
