Hi Per,

Yes one day ! I’ve got a mahogany rc boat to finish first, I get side tracked pretty easily!

I think I will set up a base to run it on for now and display :)

That is certainly moving - but at the most likely Propsize, that is also needed  ;)

To be fair to the engine it is now making some power !

You can’t easily stop the engine via the 1/4” shaft in either direction….
I’ll check it on steam and see if it will run at say 10psi and if it’s got good power at 45psi I may call it and crack on with the bigger version ;) of course making good valves again will be key
