Vega 30

Description

by John Harbone

The Vega range was designed and built from the late 1980's through to the mid 1990's by John Harbone of Birmingham, England. His intent was to provide a range of engines for sport or scale flying that would be quiet and reliable. They were manufactured in small quantities from bar-stock until ill-health forced an end to the venture.

In my quest to learn more about reading blueprints I found Learn It playlist on how to model the Vega 30 engine.
I thought it looked amazing and had to 3d print it to have it in my desk. Of course I had to share this with everyone so enjoy!

Removing Supports

Grab a cup of coffee. This is a labor of love.

🚨 Some parts are very fragile. Handle with care. If anything breaks, just print another one.

Begin by removing all the supports from the parts:

Assembly

The images should help you assemble all the pieces. If you have any questions, drop me a comment.

Some of the pins have a small elephant foot. You can just cut it out in case its too hard to fit the pieces together

Add a drop of glue here to glue the cylinder liner

Push the Piston in. It should snap easily

Glue the Carburetor assembly to the Cylinder Jacket

Congratulations! You did it!

Thank you for taking the time to print and assemble this awesome engine.

One last tip. Add a few drops of Sewing Machine Oil (or any other oil) to make everything lubricated
