My First Flame Licker
« on: January 05, 2010, 08:27:52 AM »
Hi all,

Here are a couple of pics and videos of short runs it's done so far. I still need to do some fine tuning, and hopefully it'll be a good runner. I think I bit off more than I could chew with this one!

Nice build!  :ddb: It sounds as if there is a machinist in training watching and approving the finished product.  Congratulations.

very nice nick...................and what do you mean "I think I bit off more than I could chew with this one". man you pushed your limit's and still ended up with a running engine  :thumbup:

now on the next project you have to push your limit's a little bit more......................you can do it..
