I’ve seen the Merlin running…. An awsome sight. There were plans for a 1’5th scale hurricane to go with it…

I can’t get over the dedication and single-mindedness to create something like that.
Although long out of practice, I have set or operated most types of machine tools in the past, with varying degrees of competence. Even with a fully equipped machine shop I’d have got fed up before I finished.

Blimey.
What’s the output of the mini-Merlin like?
