helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Big Ned, eh!! Will you bash out a big tin helmet to cover the gas tank? Metal plates hanging at the sides? That would be cool!! .....and a rifle of course (oh dang it - you guys can't have them anymore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big J Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Just what I was wondering,how you gonna cool it,g? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nogbad Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I suspect the glitches with the rotary valves cold will be as nothing to what will happen when it gets a bit warm...... Still, looks like a beautiful machining job. I didn't like to ask how it will be cooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
