Yep. If you've never seen a Conely engine in person, they really are true works of art. I get to see them every two or three years when I go to the Chicago Model & Hobby Show. Unfortunately, their not allowed to run the motors in the exhibition hall. Shame. Yet another item for the "If I win the Lottery..." list. -Bill -- Bill Mette | "A person is smart. People are dumb."

Oh for christ sakes, who the hell wants a stupid pencil sharpener? <evil grin>

blah rotary power

Yeah... my neighbour bought one for his 3-year old son on his birthday. The thing goes like the wind! Only thing is the poor kid keeps crapping his pants - and he's three years old! Not exactly the best toy in the world for someone that's trying to toilet-train a toddler. Think my neighbour should just take the engine back out and use it for sharpening his pencils - think the poor kid might appreciate it too! doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl ;o) ------ >After my jaw was picked up off the floor, I could only utter three words... >oh... my... god... >I tell you once I get 15k to burn on something, I think I'll get one and start >terrorizing the neighborhood with a 1/4 scale viper... anyone seen one of the >full cars in operation? >> >Holy Leapin' Lizards, Batman!

That's nothing, there was this bloke on TV from Switzerland or France and he built a 1/4 scale Ferrari 512 (the Le Mans job), exact in every detail....pedals worked, gearbox worked, it even sounded like a Ferrari. I also seem to remember a magazine article about a chap who built working 50's GP models (Maserati 250F's, Ferrari 246's etc.) Tim

At an antique farm equipment show, some guy had this cool little engine sitting there. Neat I though, then I saw it said Cosworth on it. The entire engine was about 6" long complete with side-draft and header. I longingly asked him if he could run it and he said sure! I figured it would sound like a model airplane engine but boy was I wrong, it sounded a lot like a modern day super bike. Man, when he revved that thing up, everyone in the barn was looking around trying to see where the screaming motorcycle was. Very cool, and he made it all himself. Kurt

I drove one in a parking lot one time, and it scared the shit out of me... I've never driven a car with _so_ much low-end torque before. I owned _many_ GTO's from the 60's, and the Viper eats them all alive. A light touch is mandatory, and I couldn't even imagine driving one of these things on a wet road, much less during a snowstorm :) -Larry > I tell you once I get 15k to burn on something, I think I'll get one and start > terrorizing the neighborhood with a 1/4 scale viper... anyone seen one of the > full cars in operation?
