Wow! Eveready round 1.5 V starting battery, alligator clips, Veco Smoothie, Francisco fuel, pump in the can. Brings back lots of old memories. The prop cut scars on my fingers ache at the thought of the Good Ol' Days.

That engine almost looks like a Forster on that Smoothie.

I'm still flying a Smoothie, one I built back in my Air Force days in 1968. Doesn't look that good anymore. Still flies pretty good, though. At least as good as my diminishing skills allow.
