RMC Type'b' Loyal Cycle Project



A little info about this motor, castings and plans were purchased from RMC (Rowland Manufacturing Company)and the website is http://rowland.24megsfree.com . The plans and castings are really clean and well prepared, I've seen my share of bad castings and worse plans, but this was a nice suprise. The plans aren't just a packet of iso views and measurements, there is time taken to exlain set-up and recommended machining sequences. I appreciate that, since I've made a few parts on other models and then found that I should have machined something else first to get the fit right. In fact the plans remind me a lot of the old popular-mechanics 'how-to' sections when they still printed model engine plans. I'm starting this project in Feb of '10, so we will see how long it takes me.
