Thank you.

Hi Gregor S ,

Three things ;

First , Welcome to RC Universe .

Second , that is a "Glow" engine and not a "Gas" engine .

And third , due to that oddly enlongated backplate in the crankcase it looks like a Fox model airplane engine you've got there and the size may be right around .30 or .35 CU IN .

Thanks all, sorry about posting to the wrong forum (gas vs. glow).

Regards,

No problem, most of us have deep roots with glo engines! Good little engine and that "Unique, only Duke Fox could create that look"!

Well I'm old enough to remember when glow engines were called "gas engines". I do like the look of the engine, especially the unique backplate.
