Hi Tidnab,
Thanks for sending the pics. The engine is not the model I was looking for. I would get it from you anyway, but it looks like we are going to buy a house, so all other things are on hold for now. Thanks again for the very nice offer and sorry for any inconvenience.

Good evening George,
The engines arrived about 5:30 this evening. All in good order thanks to your expert packing. Thank you for this offering. And, thank you for the bolt to replace the compression release, and for the three carbs. The one carb without adjustable needles will be good for parts. I have a Liftmaster UAV camera/tug type thing that I plan to use the 30 on. The 25 I hope to use on an early 100 inch Hanger 9 J3, or I may build a stick type plane for it. I have an extra ECDI unit that I may use with one of the engines, or I may try gas/glow or the OS gas glow plug. All to help reduce the weight. Or depending on the planes balance, I may run them with the stock magneto. Most of my early life's experiences were with magneto ignitions in motorcycles and outboard motors. And of an understanding of magnetos in aircraft.
Mounting of the engines will be straight forward, but I need to source prop hubs for them. Do you have any extras for sale or know a good source?
Again, I thank you very much. I wish You and Yours a very Happy Holiday season.
Sincerely, Richard
