OX5 Engine

I really enjoyed the Mercedes build so while I am still in that frame of mind I think that I will continue and start to build the Curtiss OX5 engine that came with the 2nd Model Airways Jenny kit.This time ,now that I know how to use my scanner for pics ,I will be able to do a more step by step build of this engine.I even got permission from them to use some sketches from their instruction manual.Having already built this engine once before I can tell you up front that it is a very good quality piece and in my opinion well worth the expense.That is something that I could not say before about some of their other engines.
For those who may be wondering ,my relationship with this company is the same as always , all of their kits that I have built have been courtesy
of my own pocketbook, and will continue to be in the future.That way I can remain totally objective and give you guys my honest opinion.
Now on to the build...............
Cheers! John.
