I love this engine, completely blown away with the quality and workmanship in this Sirius.

Very pretty Bill!
I was watching a video last night at a bit of a talk we gave, some chap I think in England was flying a model rotary radial on a WWI bipe. Would it be a one off or did some model engine manufacturer actually produce one?
Had one of those but it broke!

I know the video Merv. The modeler built the engine, 3.5yrs I think and then built the model, another 2yrs. It is the very definition of the term scale model.Originally Posted by OldPrairieRedNeck
I'll see if I can find it. The model was a 1/4 scale Avro 504K.

Completely insane the time and craftmanship in this model and engine!

Yup, that is so amazing! Just think of the range of skills that model demonstrates. From machining to flying and every thing in between and all in one man. That truly is rare!

I have a couple of friends that would run a very close second to that modeler Merv.

Take care of them Bill! They are a rapidly disappearing breed.
