I like the pressure gauge setup you have too. How have you connected that? I noticed the bird was lying on its back towards the end of the video. You didn't let it get into the meths did you?

Has he lost his big W from his top hat ......... or is he jealous you were running a Mamod ?

I photoshopped the "w" hat.......
The gauge is plumbed under the plank and tapped (cringe you collectors)into the back of the boiler with small copper tube.... Gauge addition post: http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/about21075.html I like knowing what the boiler is doing.....gauges are a must.... On un diluted meths she will run around 18-20 psi and stay there....Notice the blast of speed at the end when the boiler is about 24 PSI....this was on diluted meths or it would have stayed around 18-20... Engine runs great with my new pistons i made from brass rod....custom fit and a tad longer than stock for better support in the bore.... The bird was overcome with fumes and needed a nap.... Jim |

Your mods definitely improve on factory performance Jim. As for the bird...I think he was just enjoying the fumes a bit too much!!! |
