Looking for 1/4 scale Gypsy build thread and info

[David KParticipant @davidk77137]

I have some castings and drawings for a 1/4 scale Gypsy 1 Aero engine.

The drawings are 7 large sheets and have ' supplied by A J Reeves ' on them.

I have already started making the crankshaft but feel I may struggle with some details of the plans so a build thread from somewhere would help greatly.

Does anybody know where I might find a build thread online or in a magazine.

There are several members on MEM Forum who have the castings and probably one or two who have previously made it so you may get more help there though a quick search did not bring up a build thread. You are also going to find more members there who build engines so a good place to ask.

I think the note about Reeves is just where to get teh CI for the cylinders rather than the rest being supplied by them.

Recently watched video on U-Tube of a Gipsy I being run at Old Warden, worth a look if you can find it.

If it was this one you watched than that is Mike Cole's engine and he is a member of MEM Forum , as I said best place to ask questions.
