Greetings From Queensland ....
« on: August 11, 2016, 01:48:00 AM »
I've just recently found this forum, and have so far just been lurking around, looking, and absorbing all the good information.     I'm retired now.  Been many things over my working career --- Aircraft Instrument Fitter, Scientific Instrument Maker, Computer Technician, and then various Management roles in the Computer Industry.  Since I've retired, I've returned to my roots and have taken up my old trades of Instrument Fitting and Instrument Making.  I also dabble in building model IC Engines, and model boat and model aircraft building.

I've recently posted a question about the availability of plans  (and Castings maybe) for Marine Hot Bulb (Semi-Diesel) Model Engines.   http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,6323.msg129194.html#msg129194   
Maybe you can help ?

Regards,

Roy
