I have here some things that I have collected in the course of building this engine.
Some of these are my own creations, and others were found on different websites.
I want to thank those who have taken the time to convert these to pdf and make them available on the internet.
I have them here as a collection of useful information on design and construction
of a model engine.
This collection is not complete, but will be added to as the time, and the information presents itself.
