They are marketing their products under the name PROFI Micro Engines (I don't know if they have any connection with the PROFI engines that I recall from the 1980's, or not). The members of this group are Alex Osovik (F2A), Youry Chalka (F2C), Pavel Troiono (F2A) and Alex Zajtvec (F2B). The FAI event numbers show they are all dedicated control line men and produce engines for team race, speed and stunt as well as these scale gems.
The Cirrus and V8 show their Eric Whittle heritage, but in so many different scales and variations that this can only be considered as a starting point. From top to bottom we see: http://www.modelenginenews.org/images/red-ball.gifA pair of V2 "motor cycle" style air cooled four strokes based on Whittle 1:6 scale cylinders, bore 17.1mm, stroke 19mm, capacity 9cc, operating rpm 1200.http://www.modelenginenews.org/images/red-ball.gifAn air cooled Whittle V8 again using 1:6 scale Cirrus parts, so total capacity 36cc.http://www.modelenginenews.org/images/red-ball.gifA water cooled version of the same engine, with radiator. The v8's turn at 9000 rpm.http://www.modelenginenews.org/images/red-ball.gifA double overhead cam, water cooled four cylinder four stroke of PROFI design. It has a bore of 25.5mm and stroke of 25mm giving a capacity of 50cc and operates at 10000 rpm.http://www.modelenginenews.org/images/red-ball.gifA lineup showing a different perspective on the wc dohc 4, followed by Whittle/Zimmerman Cirrus Mk1's in 1:6 and 1:12 scale, both air and water cooled.http://www.modelenginenews.org/images/red-ball.gifSome parts for the Cirrus engine.
For historical reference, Merrit Zimmerman (USA) was responsible for the initial design of a 1:4 and 1:6th scale versions of the Cirrus Mk1 (both published in SIC). He also built and sold them for a time. Eric Whittle built the 1:6 version for the construction series in SIC and designed a 1:9 scale version that was published in Engineering in Miniature magazine (UK). Later, he designed the V8 based on his previous work and also used these assembles to produce flat two and four cylinder engines. These have been published in MEW and SIC respectively. SIC also published his "Robin" design; a miniature 4 stroke single based on his 1:9 Cirrus cylinder assembly. While it can be hard to tell from photos, I think the quality, workmanship and attention to detail are simply outstanding—look at the finish on the Cirrus components depicted in the final shot. I don't normally include commercial work in the "Gallery" section of my site, but for these I believe an exception was warranted. Email them, or contact direct:
