Now this is a good winter project this guy's also done a merlin although I can't remember if it was 1/4 or 1/5th scale

Hmm, how many winters you thinking?

Spin Doctor, WOW!!!, I think that sums up your link, thanks.

theres a guy on the internet that makes bridgeport mills that a child could pick up (1/6 the scale and such)

[Spin Doctor]

There's also a guy in Oz working on a 1/6th scale Pratt & Whitney 28 cylinder R4360

I've seen a plane built for one of these somewhere on the net. All aluminum. Will try to find it.

Think he'll fly it?

Bill, a big NO! But it would be very spectacular if it did.

I love that Rolls Royce Eagle - outstanding! Thank you for the link.

Here is a picture of a working Merlin engine that was displayed at the Iron Fever Expo in York Pennsylvania this summer.
The builder is shown in the picture. I can't remember his name.
Perhaps someone can help identify this master machinist.
Nice work!

fixxit, thanks for the photo!

Here is a better view of the Merlin engine.



I went back to my original high resolution image to try to discover the identity of the engine builder. His name tag is partially visible.
