RE: mccoy engine
As a kid back in the late 50s I couldn't afford anything but a McCoy. I had only one and flew it on at least 5 or 6 planes over 3 or 4 years. It had no compression after a run but still started and ran fine once it cooled down. At least it seemed like it ran fine at the time. The performance probably wouldn't be accepted today but I was happy with it back then.
