ABOUT
Chinn traces the evolution of miniature four stroke engines from early experimental designs to the refined, efficient units that became popular with scale and sport flyers.
He explains the mechanical and thermodynamic principles that distinguish four strokes from their two stroke counterparts, valve timing, induction cycles, lubrication paths, and combustion characteristics, while showing how manufacturers solved the challenges of shrinking full size engine concepts to model scale.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and diagrams.
