Hello everyone,

My mane is Jorge Lopes (Flysafe) this i tis my first post here, I live in Lisbon, Portugal.

I wonder if anyone can help me with some information or a link where I can see the engine in more detail the engine is an aero engine Packard Model 1A-1237 V-12. I'll build a boat that is called Hornet II radio controlled 1 / 8 scale I want to do a template engine to place in the boat.

I have been searching on Google for information about this engine I do not have had great success with the search I got two pictures where some parts are not shown.

If anyone can help me would be fantastic and I would be grateful.

Thank you all.

G'day Jorges,
to PackardInfo and, if memory serves me, our first member from Portugal!

Probably your best source of information for Packard aero engines is Robert J. Neal, a member of this Site, but not a regular if I can use that terminology. Robert has authored a number of books which cover the broad subject you're interested in and brief reviews of "Master Motor Builders" and "Packards at Speed" can be found here in The Packard Bookshelf. If you can source copies of these publications, (eBay or Amazon?) these would probably assist you.

Here's a link to Robert's Public Profile which includes an email address, or click on the PM link button there. Or Robert may see this thread and respond directly, never know your luck.

You probably found this in your Google searches, It provides a couple of pic's, ex Robert Neal, of the Packard 1A-1237 which blow up bigger when clicked on.

Hello everyone,

Ozstatman Thank you so much for the help, I will send a message to Robert J. Neal to see if he has any more detailed information That he can share with me, in the meantime I will try ebay or amazon for some books of Robert J. Neal.

The images I got was of that site you posted.

Thank you all.
