Like i said would be awesome if they sold these things. but from all the investigating i did, they are all hand crafted and one of a kind, I am sure if they did sell them. they would cost A LOT "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming--WOO HOO what a ride!" |

Add 2000 chinese slaves hours and the cost should be about 25 dollars. Which is a ripoff considering that they sell Chinese suicide factory slave organs for high dollars after the Chinese suicide factory slave commits suicide. |

Wouldn't it need some kind of battery and spark plugs to burn the fuel? Not necessarily. Many tiny engines use a nitro-meth glow plug system. Since this is a demonstration engine you could leave out things like a throttle using a fixed port size for air intake combined with carefully metered fuel instead.

On an unrelated note, you could never run that engine very long unless you manualy oil the valves. I didn't see any oiling mechanism for them and I'm not even sure there is any in the crank case to lube the pistons. |

No, aside from the small amount of oil he used when installing the pieces i didn't see anything else that would assist in lubricating it.

I didn't see any oiling mechanism for them and I'm not even sure there is any in the crank case to lube the pistons. I'm still sticking with nitro-meth glow plugs. The exhaust is invisible. Nitro-meth flames when burning are also invisible. It's also a very common RC fuel here in the states anyway. Your right about the lubrication, but I still say it's just a demonstration engine.
