For a start on this page, some recent doings around the shop here in Fallbrook. Please send items of interest to include here.
Here's a few things done in the shop recently. I'm playing catch-up on several motors, one long overdue for Zach, another for a fellow in Virginia, two going to Illinois, and three to Arizona....and I need a couple myself....and some models in the worst way!
You are invited to send along items you've been working on to include here - Please do! This is OUR Web site, so let's use it!

Combination backplate and mount for a Johnson .29S NosGas motor. Ted Firster's engine.
Sideview showing gear mount. Note the bypass cuts in the backplate, also I've used an O-ring seal; no more mangled and hard to find/make, gaskets.
HP .61 for Jeff Carmen. It came with a throttle, so built this venturi and NV assembly for it.
Nicely tapered music wire skid; 5/32 to 3/32.
The venturi out of the motor. Not shown; replaced the rear gasket with an O-ring seal. Vast improvement.
The guts of the NV assembly is from K&B (now RJL); a 'Speed' needle. I made the long one to replace the too-short stocker in this application.
