It has valves? How? :shock:


You can see the pushrod tubes 9left of barrels) and valve gear cover on top I do believe :wink:

Bet doing the clearances is fun :shock:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

I was shown some images of a model Concorde over weekend, I'd estimate it to be about 6' long. Apparently built by an jet engineer from very limited drawings that remain of Concorde fitted with jet engines and will be flown in a few months by a Pro flyer....hope it doesn't crash.
The model has been vetted by Concorde engineers and they noted that the tail rudder was incorrect and would likely cause turbulence so he's had to re-engineer with cup & ball style joints.
I'll see if I can get some images.

Saw this fly at the Cosford airshow last year. Stunning bit of kit and sounded great too.
