| Post subject: | New build Gnome Rotary engine |
Here's a short video of the new build Gnome Rotary engine that will be commercially available from New Zealand. Engine #1 is in final assembly, and we have a deposit on engine #2 for our Sopwith Camel replica. The video shows valve and cam timing actuation - for a 100 year old design, it is quite mechanically elegant and simple. So very cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvHrbkYEn0k |

It's ALIVE! This is Engine #1 which will be going on an Australian Eindecker. We are in line for engine #2 for our full size Sopwith Camel. The Gnome 9B-2 was original equipment on some Camels, so we have an expected performance level. This is just so cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB80M6oA ... AK6ehOIYEQ |
