Default Engine identification help 2 stroke glow

Can anyone tell me what kind of engine this is? I was told it was a "sky sport" from Canada but cannot find any info. I got this in a package deal of engines and planes. Looks almost new.

Thanks for your help!

It is, indeed, a Skyward. Moderate power and quality. OOP I believe.

SKYWARD is a brand name of the UDISCO group in Canada:

The engine has the look of a PICCO from the 80's:

So I wouldn't say "Moderate power", I have several Picco boat versions (.21,.45 and .80)and they are all beast when it come to power. Very much in the same league as OPS<ROSSI and CMB.

I have a 60 or three like this, and it's better than moderate power, 16,000 rpm on the ground. Tunes well, really comes alive with a header and pipe. Check Robair81 on fee bay, he's got a lot of parts for these in stock, and he sells them for $129 last time I checked.
The cast ones are Picco, and it's difficult to tell them apart other than the carb. The Picco is a tad stronger.
