Hi,

I have just acquired the above three cylinder radial aero engine that is just part built - what you see is what's built so far.

Unfortunately, there are no plans or drawings for the engine, and my efforts to locate them on the internet have come to nothing so far.

Can anyone identify the engine please? I am after the designer or better still, where I might be able to get a set of drawing plans for the engine.

Many thanks in anticipation,

Chris

Hi - thanks Ady1 and Jason, it does have a look of the Osprey about it, except there are some differences, for instance, from what I've read so far would indicate on the Osprey that the push rod tube acts like an air intake tube as well and the fuel/oil mixture therefore floods all the crankcase providing lubrication throughout, whereas my engine takes inlet air straight from the crankcase, not that an air inlet into the crankcase is provided for just yet! But there are similarities, certainly. So now for plans.

I might start another thread to see if anyone has plans of the Osprey, seeing as how Gerald Smith is sadly no longer with us, rather than continue and confuse this thread.

Chris
