Status: offline 		It definitely looks like an older Quadra - can't remember when they stopped using the steel prop hubs, but it was "long, long ago". It most likely has points behind the flywheel - a 35 or 40cc - they made both and looked the same.

Status: offline 		Yup, that's a Quadra! Canman hit it right on the head.

I'd say mid to late 80's. Big motor back then. Very good for scale stuff. May work for light aerobatics.

You may want to convert it to C&H ignition & loose the points. If there are no points I'd still use the C&H. That engine is going on 20 years old, and the ignition may go at any time. As for the rest of it, If it has not been run lean or gotten too much moisture It will be fine.

Thanks, Scott

Status: offline 		Look in the exhaust port to see the piston ring(s). 1 ring = 35cc or late 40cc. 2 rings = early 40cc.
Bennettbuilt.com has a good supply of parts for this engine.
