This 1/8th scale Merlin V-1650 is the centerpiece of the Cabin Fever Exposition this year. Dudley Henriques tells me that it actually fired up and ran on the first try.

Amazing work.

I'll be impressed when he makes a fully operational mini- R-4360 Wasp Major engine.

Just joking.

That mini merlin is pretty freaking amazing. Thanks for posting it.

That should go fine with Wobble's P-51 replica

"2.9 hp @ 2 atm @ 3000 rpm "

Coolest moped on the block!

Imagine the street cred (and the sound!) of having that fixed to your skateboard

Definitely a piece of amazing work. Now if we can just get him to construct an accurate P-51 or Spitfire to wrap around it

About 15 years ago there was a guy who built an Alfa Romeo (might have been Lancia or Ferrari but I think Alfa) in about 1/8 scale that was radio controlled. It was not a kit, scratch built, with a scale engine similar to that Merlin. Scale tube frame, scale aluminum body, scale drum brakes, scale everything.
