    THE BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED FOR PUBLIC VIEWING !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Blockbuster, no, not really, but a bit of a vid of the sliding cylinder story. Not too sure what next, but there are a couple of options. A steady state dyno is definitely preferable.

    Well done Ken!! Great to see it working - lots of development still to do I'm sure but if all you guys in the forum thread keep working together (as you have been doing), I'm sure it will be very successful - keep going!
    Yow Ling may even see his 71 HP on the dyno readout!

    1st start

    So Ken, any initial thoughts as to the engines set up? i know its early days but, you got to ask does it two stroke at low rpm?

    Breezy, the grand plan it to get it onto a dyno (think I have a waterbrake kart engine type sussed off a mate). Then with some, 3 in fact, FOS empirical pipes, the thing can be assessed more fully. As to whether it 2 strokes at low load/speed, and this is a good question, I just can't say right now. It was just so noisy and without any exhaust as it was, it just too hard to comment. Got my fingers crossed though.
