Silver Angel, by Bob Shores

The Silver Angel was designed and built in 1994. The first drawing package was purchased by Charlie Mosgrove In June 1995. This engine features “open Technology” as all parts except the piston and rod are visible. A pleasing spectacle when running. The Silver Angel is a good project for the novice to acquire the basic skills needed for this hobby.
