Nice to have you with us Timo, some nice looking models there!

Hello Timo2, that is a good array of models you have there. Do you sail with any particular club on the West Coast?
I particularly liked the link to the engineshop which you included. They have some neat and interesting units on it at particularly appealing prices when the current exchange rate is considered.
cheers

For those interested in the 8m twin V engine, it is actually manufactured by PM Research here in the states....here is a link to there web page with the engine: http://www.pmresearchinc.com/store/home.php?cat=3 (http://www.pmresearchinc.com/store/home.php?cat=3)
I have seen this engine running at a show...it appear to be a nicely built good running engine with plenty of power....typical of oscillators it may use a bit more steam than a slide valve engne.
