Help!
Carl, very nice engine galleries and engines!
I am looking to buy a set of castings for the Les Genery 1/4 scale Aeronca E-113 engine and the 1/4 scale Gipsy I engine.
Can anyone lead me the way to the source?
Many thanks, Hans

Dear Carl,

Do you have plans for the Merlin engine as i would really like to make one for my quarter scaled spitfire i have been building. I have been searching for a long time to get some blueprints or CAD models, just something to go on. I would really appreciate your response.

Kind regards

Carl,

I am building the Otto 1895 and noticed a picture of Bob Kipp's in your 2007 GEARS photo album. If possible I would like to confer with Bob on several build issues. Below is my contact information, would you please forward to Bob.

Hi Carl, I am building a Mery model from the castings kit. I am looking for somebody who has done it before to help me out where the drawings don't say everything. I can send you some pictures how far I got. Perhaps you could send me an email. I am based in the UK.

Thanks and best regards,
Thomas.

Hello Carl, like you I'm an old tinkerer, self taught machinist. I'm trying to find a set of Brad Smith castings for the 1/2 scale Maytag. Do you know of any available? Brad is out of the casting business.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Carl
My friend Hank is building the 1/2 scale Maytag. He is just about finished but is having a problem understanding air intake system. He has built the parts but the print calls for them to be soldered together but that is confusing because then the air is shut off completly. He cannot understand how to get it together. we looked at your picture but really need a shot from the other side and under so to speak. Can you help, he does not have internet access so I need to pass the info along to him via snail mail. Bob

Hello, I own the 1909 tugboat Reliance. It originally had a 30HP Frisco standard gas motor. I would really like to put one in the boat as I'm trying to restore it back to original. I would be interested in obtaining one or would at least like to talk to someone about "donating" as this boat is close to museum quality. I'm hoping to generate interest, maybe someone that has one would be eager to see it in action as it was intended. Thank you

Carl.
Nice name. I am Carl-Eric Carlsen, I'm English but My Father was Norwegian. I put my name into the Google Search and up you popped.
By coincidence I am a Marine Engineer, both steam and motor-ships, so I found your website very interesting.
Thought I would say hi.
Carl-Eric.

Hello Carl,
Nice work, I am new to making model engines. I am a very good Cad drafter in solid works and Autocad if you ever need help with either drop me an e-mail. Where can I fine more info on the radial engine you made?

Hi Carl, I'm Ron Fossum - a steamer and sometimes website designer. I'm redoing Gary Martin's website for him (Martin Model & Pattern) and would like to use a couple of your photos to illustrate his finished kits. Credit will (of course) be given. artemis@pcez.com or 503-252-0896. Thanks. Ron

Hi, I am keenly interested in more info on the water cooled Domestic Hit and Miss. I am a beginner, in gas engines, but I do have experience with steam engines.If possible can you email me so that I may pose my questions, in detail? Thanks

Carl I was doing a search on google for gear hobbers and ran into your page. It is very nice. Then I noticed you were in the Portland area and that sparked a further interest as I live in Newport, Ore. I also went up to the Gears show last year. It was the first time I had been and I enjoyed it very much. Anyway I just wanted to say hi from another home shop type. Take care, Jay

Hello Carl, I would like your permission to use some of your photos on my lighthouse website. I am mainly interested in the photos of the Fairbanks Morse Type N on the first page of your PBase photos. All the photos are superb, and the models I am drooling over!
I am a retired Canadian (BC) lighthouse keeper (32 years) and I maintain a website of stories and photos from 1900s to present. I will send you the website address if you contact me - PBase doesn't allow links from "non-members".
Fairbanks Morse engines were used as motive power for generators and compressors (for fog horns) from early 1900s to 1950s.

Hello Carl,
looking at your machines I am really impressed. Your collection is amaizing. One of the machines is a "flamelicker" and it seems that this was not a model but really used to drive something. Do you have any idea about the power generated by a flamelicker ?
Best regards
Uli
