Pretty much spot on there Tester, fascinating little engines and well worth going in something better then a plane (sorry flyboys)

fathers day is coming lets see if i can persuade SWMBO to let me get one. O0
is there any other makers of these small engines on the market or is it a limited set-up???

... had found a link for a manufacturer of V8 engines in Germany.... as I dream of powering one of my cars scale 1:5 with an V8.
4900 Euros (about 3500 quid), not too bad...... but to much for fathersday?
