Here's the video... Couldn't be more pleased with the way it runs. Do wish it was a little louder on the exhaust note. Any body know where I can get some miniature glass-packs?

WOW!!! That is beautiful Chuck. She sounds sweet at idle. Has a nice lope to it like a V8 with a hot cam in it. Sounds nice revved up too. What's the next step?

Here's another vido. This one is several videos combined, with a small flywheel, no flywheel, a propeller, and one with the oil pan removed to show the rods and crankshaft.

Notice the sound is amplified by the board it's sitting on. I'm going to make a sound box to run my engines on.

That's awesome Chuck! I love the sound on the board. And, the start up sounds with the propeller are really cool. It sounds just like a plane starting up when the momentum of the propeller is overcome. Nice work. I would love to build one of these some day.

I love the piece with the crank shaft exposed. I could watch that all day

I have just uploaded the full set of drawings for this engine. The drawings were done by John McClelland.
