This is a very rough protopye to check the look and build of one of the nine cylinders or the Wasp engine. The "crankcase" is one inch in diameter with nine flats for each of the cylinders. Start by drilling a hole and inserting small bamboo rod and then inserting a small piece of coffee stirrer over that. The set screw is then glued in place and the other two set screws are glued to the cylinder. Half round styrene rod is uesd for the headers. 3/64" carbon steel music rod is used for the push rods. Will not be using that on the actual build. 3/16" strips of masking tape is used at the top and bottom of the push rods to replicate the connectors to the crankcase and headers. Masking tape will not be used for final motor. I am having trouble trying to build the spark plugs as they are 1/16" long and 1/64" round.

Thanks but I am hoping it turns out looking better.

exactly! and based on this mock-up I see every reason to expect that it will - no worries
