I am researching boxer configured twin engines in the 100 - 120cc range. I came across this Chinese one while doing so. I have never heard of the brand before.
Is there anyone reading that has heard about one of these? If so, what are the reports?

I notice there is no prop bolt circle diameter mentioned and this would be crucial for the purchasing or machining of a prop drilling guide.

I prefer this top mounted carburettor configuration. The best carb position of all, of the engines I have viewed on websites, is the four stroke Kolm (very expensive). It has a rear mounted carb which is compatible with the use of the front part of the fuselage as an air filter. I will have an air filter on any engine that I use on the rough grass strips that we aerotow gliders on.
