I like it.

Thanks for posting the video. I've seldom seen that type of engine running, and I have been hesitant to begin one for fear that my skills may not have been adequate to get the friction low enough. That video is a good incentive to give it a try.

I had problem with fiction and valve timing at first but just keep working on it and it started to running real good.

Hot air engines were my first love (from a model engine perspective), and this one has been my favorite since I first saw it. Yours is a fine example, both in looks and the way it runs. Gotta find time to build one of these someday!
