Vintage 10cc Model Ignition Four Stroke Gasoline Engine Hand starting and run.
A brief video showcases the startup of a 10cc homemade model gas engine, constructed from aluminum and bronze sand castings. The parts were machined using a South Bend lathe and a Sherline lathe for the smaller components. Drawings and instructions for this engine were published in a 1946 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine, and Coles Power Models offered casting kits until 2006, when the company was sold and relocated to Texas. The engine features a 1-inch bore and a 3/4-inch stroke, with the piston operating within a cast iron sleeve encased in an aluminum cylinder. Spark ignition is achieved through a WilCo model airplane coil, two D cell batteries, and a points set from a 1977 GM V-8....

Nice 👍✈️
They rather retire the plane then have it fight fires what its supposed to do. We wont have a Canada history if trudeau keeps burning us down.
That ol' girl gave lengthy service to mankind.. a stout bird as testimony to the Martin company.
How do you get them and what airlines have them
Currently waiting for it to land at its final resting place at the BC aviation museum in Victoria BC, Super excited to see it.
Last flight today I saw it
❤ thank you for the tip, that was very useful. I am following a drawing i bought from Woodcrafters. The only problem I had is it was saying use a # 10 screw with 3/8 inch copper tubing. That was too loose. I am now using plastic 3/8 inch pvc line. Had to use a 1/4 inch drill to open up the inside diameter then using 1/4x20 bolts. I like your idea better ill give that a shot next.
Glad you got it figured out. The bushing I usually use is 1/4" Od and 3/16" ID. Still a bit loose as these nails measure about .171 diameter and 3/16 is .187. Best of luck with your whirligigs. !
Thank you. I have learned a lot from you
Thanks for the kind comment
Great work. That engine looks, sounds and run great.
Thanks
Thanks - runs very well. Makes an original Whippet build look quite tempting as the end result would be very appealing,
just make sure you get the deck height/conrod length right! theres a near century old typo in the plans...
@@paradiselost9946 yes and the bolt holes for the head are extremely close to the cylinder opening.
Very cool engine.
I really love the scale sound of this little engine! DId you walk behind it with the camera, it looks like the perspective keeps changing so I assume it wasn't mounted in the boat itself. It was still fun pretending that I was a little person riding along. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the comments. The "action cam" is actually mounted on the rear of the boat itself. It's connected to a servo so that the camera can swivel left and right. Had some trouble with the engine stopping due to condensation of the steam in the cylinder.
I’m trying to open the link to ordering plans but not having any success. It reads oops page can’t be found. Any suggestions?
The ordering page is down. You can contact us through the web page or at the listed email and request a Air Coupe plan set. $15 includes USPS shipping with Paypal. Go to gwheyduke.com and click on "contact" link.
Do you use matte, or gloss sheen? Thank you
Do you offer in person workshops
Great job. Lovely .
You failed to show cutting the slots thanks for nothing
What type of blade are you using on the saw ? Your instructions are GREAT! Thank you.
What a lovely little engine, I always enjoy the aesthetics of open rockers. What's the rev range like, sounds low, which I also like! What's the cam spec?
Not sure of the RPM range, probably something like 1200 to 6500 top. The cam lobes are 110 degrees apart. 1" bore with 3/4" stroke, with two cast iron piston rings
@@gwheyduke thank you for the reply, really awesome build mate
What a beauty!
Thanks for the comment !
I downloaded the plans for this several years ago but have never built it. Now I'm getting interested again. I really like your idea for the adjustable valve throw. I'll probably use a cast iron dolly wheel for the flywheel. another interesting variation would be to use a piece of Lucite or some other transparent plastic for the cylinder, maybe with a Teflon or Delrin piston.
Sounds like an interesting idea, should work fine and be fun to watch running.
That thing purrs right along. Love it.
Thanks, this is the second one I've built.
Love this engine. Great runner. Any build videos?
Congrats !
Please can you help a useless female 😂... Is this possible to do using say a mitre blick and hand saw... I am desperate to make a small scale whirligig but do not own any power tools, apart from basic hand drill etc thank you... Super info vids
You can make a propeller hub using a hand saw and a miter box it will work. The slots for your blades don't have to be a perfect angle, it will still work ok. Starting with Square hubs make it easier to cut the slots by hand.
@@gwheyduke thankyou for replying, much appreciated,
I'm still trying to hone in on my settings. I obviously wasn't center as mine looked like the one you showed that didn't have a through cut on the rear. Another issue I'm having is, I'm using 1/8 for my whirlygig blades. With one saw blade the slot it too small with 2 the slot is too big. How are you getting such a good fit? Thanks in advance. Love your video
Getting the hub slots the exact size can be difficult. You can try different saw blades. Some are thicker than others. Some builders stack two blades together to form a specific thickness dado cut. Another trick is to simply run the hub through the saw blade multiple times to open it up.
Great video ! Very informative and instructions are spot on ! Thanks. Subscribed and rang the bell.
Thank you for the kind comments!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
The jig appears to make two different angles, at the first station , and thenecr to last station, counting from the operator's position. Is that correct?
Yes, that correct. With 6 cutting stations, the result is 3 hubs for each opposite spinning direction. The angled cross boards are simply supports for the hub blanks. You could install more with a longer sled. With a little modification this method would also work for round hubs.
Can I buy a bunch of 120 and 90 hubs? Don’t have a set up.
What size hubs do you need, and how many? I have a just a few left. You would need to make your own blades; the slots are approximately 3/16-inch width.
Question: would you consider making one and how much would you charge to make a replacement propeller for me?
Yes, I have made a few in the past. It would depend on the type and size of the propeller you need. Usually around $25 USD for a typical wooden propeller.
@@gwheyduke Thank you so much. Do you accept PayPal? Would that include shipping costs, as well? I will find the dimensions for you.
crazy tho
Absolutely awesome and sounds kinda like hit miss engine ❤️
Yes it does. At the time the video was recorded the valve timing was a little off and the rocker arm gap was too big.
@gwheyduke that would explain alot 😅 I would have wanted a brass oilite bronze bushing for both ends of the camshaft for longevity
Tell us how you made the jig for the hubs please
The cutting jig for the wing hubs is simply a small table saw sled (16" long by 13" wide) made of 1/2" plywood. The 5 miter gage boards in the inside are 3/4" by 2 1/2 " set at 35 Degree angle to the center line (where the blade comes up in the middle). 7/8" hub blanks are clamped vertically to the 6 stations directly over the blade. It helps to glue a vertical support to hold the blanks (90 degrees) up right. You have to make two passes with each set of hubs. ( One one on each end of the blanks and of course you must flip them over after the first cut while being careful to keep them oriented the same way as the first cut. ( don't accidently flip them around or you will have the slots in the same direction.) Here's the video - ruclips.net/video/FLTYotEvtOY/видео.html
Thanks for sharing that with me. Now could you be so kind to tell me how you made the drill press jig. Thanks so much.
It looks like the jig is simply made of six pieces that are the same size as a hub assembled in a crisscross fashion. Is this correct?
I cannot believe how little info available for building 90 degree peg gears on youtube.
Yes, it's true.
wow this is so great, I watched first full version, came back to double check, found No Frills version. Thanks again. made my first hub ever and then some ! its a nice change to use my table saw for fun instead of work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is there an issue or risk I should say with the sawblade hitting the metal hinge? Great video! Thank you
If the fixture is set up correctly, hitting the hinge is unlikely.
I learned a lot! Thank you
Thanks for the kind words, glad you found it helpful.
Okay, but how do you put the pivot pin into the stick straight? That's my challenge.
Great question! I use a benchtop drill press to make sure the hole is 90 degrees to the center line of the whirligig body or base. It's best to drill it before painting, that way you can draw a centerline through the main part of the body, then I clamp the body to a machinist's 90-degree angle plate, you could use a carpenter square and a block of wood to hold it straight while you drill the pivot hole bearing hole.
Seems to move along quite nicely.
Thanks, been working on getting a little more speed. Next thing is to add the rudder and radio.
Good teacher.. thanks 👍
So nice of you
Awwwwsome
Hook up the 2000 volt neon sign transform to catch your evil twin whirlygig napper. Its funny how a little bit of flat wing can create so much lift in a breeze. Those collars and brackets are a good idea.
Thanks
Very cool
Wow a water cooled two stroke !
