I found this article on my old blog and just had to re-post it. This was written by Bob Lane some 20 years ago and it is just superb how to he can make something look like an engine from literally rubbish. A great way to add realism to a radio controlled model plane is to make a dummy engine:

The final engine with an electric motor in the centre looks quite superb. As Bob points out, if you remove one of the cylinders you can replace this with a single cylinder glow plug engine.
