Posts under this tag are about the restoration of my 5 cylinder radial Velie engine. Bought it in January 2013, from Jack, in the US, a retired aviator who was cleaning up his shed.


Glenn Peck:

While I was looking to buy this engine, I found this gentleman, Glenn Peck who is currently restoring some Velie engines.

Just want to say that he was a great help while making up my mind about buying the engine. And I am glad I found him, because now while I am building up the machine again (27 Feb 2014, a year later) he has valuable info for me as I found out yesterday. So yes good old internet, and phone !! 🙂


Chad Wille:

I would like to thank Chad as well for all the valuable information regarding the engine he has given me. Chad has made my propeller, but also has a Velie engine like mine. He is not using it anymore but has in the past. Always good to talk with him, and you know he has valuable information that I trust.
