New Member from Austria (the country without kangoroos)
« on: August 12, 2022, 10:14:10 AM »
Hello there and thank´s for accepting me in these forum.
My name is Andreas and i´m from Austria (next to Germany). My passion is to repair and modify all sorts of engines but formaly these one in motorcycles.
I´m not a professional in mechanics because my job origin was in the metal /steel processing. I posses a little lathe and a little mill for small works and other useable handtools.
For short I got an idea for a new hobby to make little gasoline / methanol engine for an RC-Car. So I found these place to sniff around to improve my knowledge . 

Thank´s again and sorry for my bad english :D .

Welcome Andreas,

you are in the right place and there are a lot of people designing and building amazing things here.

Did you happen to be at the steam meeting in Vöcklamarkt in Austria in June? I was an exhibitor there.

Greetings Michael

Welcome to the forum, Andreas. Beware - exposure to this group may spark your interest in engines of all sorts! ;)
