Default mac conversion

ok here are some pics of my engine i am doing for my airboat
i was unhappy with the bottom of the engine so i desgined a new base for it and turned it up on the 3d mill
I will now make one out of alloy since i am happy with the base also it makes it alot easier to mount the engine as well
The taper on the front is for the starter and the piece on the back is my prop tool but i am not happy with them at the moment
I will make a cdi ignition for the engine and mount it off the bolts you see on one side of the engine
i removed some of the cooling fins to make it look better as it going to be in the middle of some serious airflow anyway
The clear adaptor at the front is to shape the air into the carb and this was designed and made on a 3d mill as well

the cc is 38
It used to have a kettering type ignition but i decided i wanted to use cdi
Not because i have to just i liek the modified appeal to the whole thing
I am using a mdx20 mill from roland
its very small and doesnt like alloy so i will get the base done on another mill
I have a friend that owns a bussiness that does 3d milling

if you have alook at the airboats section you will see the boat i am putting the engine as well

yeah carl the base i have at the moment wooden work

I once made a muffler out of oak. When I revved the engine, it went WOODEN, WOODEN!
