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!

You might still be able to buy the small spark plugs. I remember when I
flew model airplanes in my youth, that some kits got one of the early .60
motors. Straped it to a sawhorse and started it up in the basement. Their
mother made them sell it when she saw the sawhorse being pulled across the
basement. But the interesting part was it was a 2 stroke, with spark
ignition and coils. Not a glowplug engine.
