Thanks for the link.

I got your engine and wow. I took it out of the box and it was so clean. Also the back plate is great. I used it to mount the engine to a block of wood and I held the engine to a table in my garrage with a vise. Also I tested the ignition coil and the spark plug and both work perfectly. The engine does have a good ammount of commpresion but i dont have a compression tester to see for sure. I havent tested the engine yet but hopfully I will be able to soon. I was thinking of buying the short shaft prop adapter from jag engines but it would cost $40 shipped which sounds like a lot to me. I'll call a machine shop near me to see if they can make a prop adapter for me but I dont really know how to describe what i need. Also how do most of these prop adapters work. Is it like a normal rc engine where the the prop goes through the crankshaft and is held on by a nut or do that work in a differnt way.

Thanks
