Hi Jo,

The model is still available from Balsa USA. Here's the link http://www.balsausa.com/ . As far as the engine goes You might be able to get him to give you an idea as to what it was. Guys like to talk about their toys but you know that already

When you find out some clues, come back here for further asistance. We like to yak about our toys too.

Best Regards
