Water Cooled Red Wing Motor 1/4 Scale
|
|
|
|
|
The 5 HP Red Wing Engine was the inspiration for the quarter scale version that you see below. This model is fully functional and has a 2 inch stroke, a 1.25 inch bore and has 8 inch flywheels. It runs on regular gasoline and uses a buzz coil as an ignition source. The engine you are looking at was my first attempt at building a model. I am as proud of this model as you will be when you hear yours run for the first time.

Above is a good view of the head, valves, push rod, mixer and muffler.
To the upper right, many parts can be seen including the crank shaft and connecting rod.
The right side of the engine is the simplest. It is where you will find one flywheel and the drive pulley, as well as the muffler and fuel supply system.
The left side has all of the goodies. The most obvious is the governor weights on the outside of the flywheel. Behind the flywheel is the timing gear assembly, cam, push rod, spark plug and a lot of other small parts that keep your interest for days.

There are a total of 22 cast iron and brass parts that require machining. It requires a little work, but the satisfaction of building one of these beauties is extremely rewarding. All of the castings you see in the surrounding four photographs are included in the casting kit. The quality of the castings is very high. It took a lot of time and four different foundries before we were satisfied with the quality.
