BOXER BEE design

give you a runner for a project.

Hi 1/2A,
I use 3 crankshafts to build a twin in a very unorthodox manner.   A car crankcase and crankshaft which is a scarce part is used for the rear assembly. This allows a turned down bee crank to fit in a bored out car crank.   Connecting the front to the rear crank is the weak link in the design, I feel.   With the basic design I also built an inline twin, shaving the heads and fins down for clearance. It runs the same as the Boxer Bee.  
The design is modular which would enable a number of crankcases to be screwed together. I have several mods I would like to do with the design to improve air/fuel flow to the front cylinder.  I'm even thinking of adapting the reed/carb assembly from an .074 R/C.  The first designs were built using a drill press and a mini lathe.  I have since picked up a used mini mill and am slowly adding needed accessories to use the mill. (expensive)  
 My other hobby, repairing guitars has kept me from spending any more time on design and development of my engines.  I will share with CEF members the build and design once reliability is proven.  
Aloha,
Agustin
