Making A Replica VW Engine

摘要

Scale modelling in any form requires a certain attention to detail and in the case of some light aircraft the engine is one such item. Many of these types use the Volkswagen air-cooled flat four and one project has just such a motor. The Druine Turbulent has exposed cylinders and exhausts that are a major feature on the nose of the aircraft. There are of course variations; some have Siamese type exhausts, others have pairs of straight through pipes either side and some feature clad silencers. And there are those that are shaped like the old Burgess style exhausts that were a major feature of Triumph motorcycles of yore!
