Thank you all for the compliments!

I am already infected!  I have looked for the drawings for little blazer... where can i find them?

What a fine little engine JW. Very well done indeed and I love watching them run too...pure physics in motion!!

JW,  I've missed out on giving you a proper "boys from the South" welcome. I'm a Tennessean. I  love the sound of these engines. You just made my list longer.

Well done, Jeremy, a great little runner.

Cheers, Hugh.

Thanks guys!  It's encouraging to hear the compliments!

I'm going to go ahead and start another project while I tweak and beautify this one.

@Whiskey:  maybe you can fill me in on some modeling things down here in the SEC.  Is there anything like NAMES down here?  Does any one participate in team builds on MEM?

Well done Jeremy 

Like Frazer said, the "Little Blazer" runs nice and quick; it's the most-run engine I have in my collection.

Kind regards, Arnold

Thanks Arnold!

I've actually got an eBay search saved in the ap on my phone.  There's only one listed right now but it's a bit out of my book budget.

If any one has a copy they would like to unload at a reasonable price I'm in the market.

I've also got a little update on the engine  I have been excessively playing with the little engine.  It's brought me a great deal of fun.  In my tinkering I have found about a 70° range of cam timing where the little engine will run.  I think it would be a great dive into flame lickers if some one is wanting to build one.  I had no previous knowledge of these and had it running in a couple days.

It likes to be very hot before you even try to flip it over.  Flame placement is critical.

Here's a rather long video of some of my tinkering:

Thanks Bill!

That is over my book budget!  I'd like to get on a used copy.  I gotta buy some more Cat40 toolholders for a dedicated job coming up.

Jeremy--Congratulations. You have done a superb job on that engine. I have downloaded the plans to have a look at them.--Brian

[jwcnc1911]

Thanks Brian!  I've got CAD files if you want them.

[Brian Rupnow]

Jeremy--I would appreciate the cad files. What format /software are they.---Brian

[jwcnc1911]

What version SW do you have?  Mine is 2013.  I'll send step files if your version is older.

[Brian Rupnow]

My version is 2011. Step file would be good. You can get my "real " email address off my web page.--Thank you.
