Mills 1.3 and valve spout


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Gooday all, I am hoping that somebody might be able to help me with a few questions.....??

I need a vintage plane from the 50's that would be a match for a Mills 1.3 diesel engine that I have, hopefully one that is not too difficult to build.

Also, might anyone know where I might obtain a "valve spout" for fuelling. Can't seem to find one anywhere in North America.

The Mills belonged to my father who was into free flight modeling in the early 50's. It would be nice to get it back into the air again....a good winter project!?

Thanks. Later...Ken

Hey Ken, as for fuel filling an eye dropper or syringe will work fine.
As for models that fly on a Mills try these. You can also get short kit and plans for these models from Klarich Kits or just scratch one out from plans.

Another example of a Mills running.
