Wow, the two-bit piece does really bring it into perspective. Another stunner.

I've seen other small engines from George.  In comparison that one is pretty big.   :stir:

Coming soon Dave. I just received the 1/16 brass tubing yesterday so I can make up the fuel line.

Very nice George.

Arv- Thanks for posting the link for the drawings.  I've always been interested in this engine since you posted it years ago on the other site.

As promised here's the video. I have never used the Movie Maker software so I went to Youtube to learn how to do it. I added the title block, threw in some pictures and added a second video at the end.
I initially started the engine with my airplane starter but found out that it would start by hand. I think I'm going to take the original one apart and make a lapped piston for it also.

She purrs like a kitten George ... but then what else would we expect from you.

Inspirational to say the least.

Cheers

Wonderful George, thanks so much for the video. The hand cranking there at the end really gives a good idea of how tiny this engine is!!
