Hello everybody.
« on: February 12, 2013, 09:22:42 PM »

Some of you might already know me from other boards. I recognize alot of names here already. My name is Steve Huck. I am from SE Michigan. I poped in to see what goes on around here and discovered alot of cool projects going on. I decided to register so I can follow along with the works in progress.

My main focus is IC engines. I have 2 running engines right now. I did Bob Shores Peewee V4 and a V8 of my own design. Right now I am working on converting my old V-Twin air compressor pump into an IC engine. I will someday finish my 1/3rd scale minibike and maybe another V8 with a blower.

Anyway, Hello!

Steve Huck

Welcome Steve! looking forward to seeing your engines. I also have a V-twin compressor I want to modify -- although into a steam powered air compressor. Glad you joined!

Glad you finally came to your senses and joined us.  The compress engine is coming along nicely and looks great like your other engines.

For those that haven't been able to see Steve's engines run. They will operate at close to scale idle speed! Not like some other scale IC engines that have to be whining along at turbine speeds to run. It is really sweet.
Looking forward to see in you and the engine  in April at the Yak Steve.  Tell the better half hello.

Hello Glen!  Good to hear from you. Peggy say's hello.

The compressor engine is real close. I just need to work out the ignition circuit. Should be running at NAMES.


Here are the links to the video of the 4 and the 8 running.

Hello Dave.

That would be a 1928 Ford Model A. It's in decent shape. Take it out 3 or 4 times a year when the weather is good.
