I took the engine out of the plane tonight and stripped it totally. its going glow only so I'm going to trim absolutely eveything off that is not required, I've made a new inlet manifold to tip the carb so no bellcranks are required, and I've marked the piston skirt to cut it under the gudgeon pin as (as was mentioned earlier by Rysium I think) the crank web and the back plate block the transfers at BDC. I'm aiming for about 1300g all up including exhaust, prop adaptor, glow plug and adaptor, carb and trumpet. And 9500 on the APC 16x8. Hopefully I'll get all the machining done tomorrow and can test it over the weekend.

Cheers,
Rich
