Hey out there in fuel fume saturated Forum land.

Does anybody know why Jin calls his little vertical M19 Hit & Miss engine ......  SAM???

Ron Walter's explains it.....

(And I thought he defined SAM, but not so.)

According to Stirlingkit... https://tinyurl.com/y22cc9ym

"What's SAM Hit 'n Miss Engine?

"SAM" here means "Silver Angel Metric". Silver Angel was designed by the late Bob Shore, a model engineer from Florida."

Thank you for that link, and for the further research to come up with the name.

I suspect that the original version by Bob Shore was likely made with an aluminum body to fit the "Silver" in its name.

So perhaps we should be calling this current version the BAM for "Brass Angel Metric", rather than SAM!?!?   ;c)

Maybe JAM?  'JIN's Angel Metric' because it's his version.

That could be a good one, but I'm less than certain Jin is the source or originator of this version. Seems from your operations video link that it has been on the market from many sources for quite a while. Microcosm, OKMO, Eachine, Enginedly and perhaps several others seem to be selling these, so who knows who actually made them?!?!
