In their stationary engines, the cylinder is made of Cast Iron. I'll find out today what the cylinder for this engine is made of.
I have attached a pic of the engine mounted on a sprayer:
I sure hope the sprayer version has an all aluminum short block. Otherwise, you're gonna have a very tough time finding a plane that will fly with a 35cc engine that weighs 4.7kg (10lbs).
