Pete Crosby Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just starting a new build from a plan to keep my busy during the current period (Quarentine). Building from a plan I liked thats on Outerzone (oz11969) Curtiss Wright Junior CW1 in 1/6th scale. Having the plan printed so while waiting for it to arrive though I'd make a start using my own printer for smaller parts. I have always liked to old home built aircraft, so this was on my list of makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Crosby Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Here the almost complete dummy engine ready to print, just adding some fine details, although its not an exact Szekely SR-3 engine, its not for true scale but to suit my build. cant imagine the hours to 3d a perfect engine.. Will print in moring as will be a few good hours on the printer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Freeman 3 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Nice project, I have often read construction articles in the old RCM mag and Model Builder and thought what a nice aircraft. Will be following your progress. So nice to see all the building that is being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Crosby Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Well a bit further on today with my dummy engine, still have one more cylinder to add, made the spark plugs and exhaust from Aluminum, its not a true engine just a scale representation of a 3 cylinder generic engine.
