Wow. Talk about works of art.

John, It's one thing to make a mere model of an engine the size of a
half dollar, but to make one run, especially a 4 cycle with valves ,
carb, and some type of spark apparatus. I'd like to know why they
make a spark plug about the size of a ball point pin tip!


How? Carefully.

I'd like to see his shop and the tools he uses to make the engines. I
always thought model airplane engines were marvels, but this guy takes the
cake.

I'd love to have one, just to put on the desk and start once in a while.
But, I'd like to spend a week with the guy building one even more.
