Model engine, 1:1 scale....
« on: May 31, 2013, 08:49:19 PM »
I am wondering whether to have a punt on this....:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161035000467

For those not willing to follow ePay links; or once the listing's died in the distant future, see the attached PDF...

50hp.... I should be able to make a trailer that pushes the car along for that, although with that flywheel going at 250rpm, I'm not sure how much gyroscopic effect there'd be at, say, 70mph....

It is the sort of thing that I could easily find a prominent corner in the garden to keep it in   :embarassed:

And there was me worrying about getting a Bridgeport home  ;D.
