Is the offical web presence of

Mr Drendel und Mr Weitzel

We,work together in our spare time on building V12 engine models on a scale of 1:4.

How this Website came to be:

We have been friends for many years and we would like to introduce you to our project.

Mr. Drendel had already been building different types of Models in his free time and I,
Mr Weitzel, was looking for a new private enterprise.

Since we both had already received technical degrees, our union under common
interests was a logical step.

The beginning of working together:

The Visitors of our website were so interested in Mr. Drendel’s models that I received
very positive feedback soon after creating the site. Since then, our most popular model
has been the air cooled V12 engine.

An air cooled single cylinder (or two cylinder) engine at a ¼ Scale to the original, was
not our original idea. Many automobiles, planes, and watercrafts from the forties were
built with standard V12 engines. These motor vehicles are often used today as a
guideline for model engines.
The models on the market today are mostly air cooled engines with a style designed
for mass consumption. There are practically no direct copies of the original engines
from the forties available. We see the exclusive sale and manufacture of these model
engines as our future.

The development of our concept:

Through our technical experience and understanding of the possible chances of market
success, we developed the idea of a water cooled six cylinder straight engine for highly
maneuverable models at a scale of 1:6. Our models are exactly like the REAL gas
engines, with oil motors and real spark ignition.
I soon developed blueprints from our first ideas. Ralf prepared for the building of the
models with the help of a CNC machine. Through our website grew an ever increasing
interest in the development of our V12 engines. Consequently we focused ourselves on
our project which allowed for the construction of V12 engines.

The production of exclusive V12 model engines for models at a scale of 1:4, just like the
original engines of the forties, which are even still around today.
We understand the building of an exclusive V12 model engine to mean the duplicating
of the original engines as closely as possible but on a smaller scale. We would
especially like to devote ourselves to building the DB605, HL 230 P 45,Allison V7010
und Rolls-Royse Merlin 23 engines which will make our engines one of a kind. Of
course it takes time to build such an engine. Since we are developing a prototype in our
free time, I hope you will cut us a break.

Concluding thoughts:

Now it might be a good idea for various reasons to build a simple combustible engine
or an electric engine for the mass market. But in all honesty a model engine just like the
original has a lot more character, right?
Petrol Engines will soon only be found in antiques and therefore I would like to offer this
wonderful technology to the interested model enthusiast. A spitting V12 model engine is
a totally different experience than a simpler combustible engine.

Sincerely
Sven Weitzel
