I am now building 10 complete units as i type..(ok my machine is doing it )
I am thinking the price is going to be around 2k ea. for the complete motor,lower,midsection,elec. ignition (the stock coil will not fit under the cowl.)
thanks.

Machine Guy,
As yours look more scale than what I've got at the moment, I'm interested in one.
I like the similarity of the pick up in the nose cone. Just like the full scale. Awesome job man.

WoW! ........... some very nice work happening their Machine Guy and the outboard cowls look pretty darn good too!

Keep up the good work and keep those pictures coming.

Have you had a chance to run your unit on a hull yet to see how it performs ?

Cheers
Chris

Hey Machine Guy,
The v 6 would be awesome to match with your lowers. Six 7.5 cc pistons in them would really put the HP up. Just a guess as I am no mathematician.
Now you've really got me hook on getting one to replace my current OB power plant and lowers.
Keep up dating us on these development Wade. I sure would like to see the finish product running.

All the best bud.

Dion.
This one ? This is a 750cc V-12 I built from scratch. this thing was a big project .. But it was a blast to build.

La-tiff I have designed this V6 around the 7.7 cc cen pistons it would be 46.2cc nitro time bomb...lol

Rodman. no I haven't had a chance to run it on a hull yet ..Now that I am stuck with a damaged ossi hull I will mount it up and see what it will do . I think the ossi hull is way to narrow (18") I don't think it is going to hold the corners.

Thanks for all the praise that really keeps me focused

Really awesome machine work there Wade. I am just about to start looking for a good cnc machine to dabble into producing rc parts ++.
Here's the dimension of my tunnel that would suit OB gas I reckon.

Best Rgds
