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!

Rat's I hit it too soon.

I didn't mean "why" but rather "how"...

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.

The five cylinder radial engine is simply amazing.

No kidding!

I've been around some people that are highly skilled and love doing
unimaginary machinging for a hobby, (but non like this!), and I've
found them to either be really laid back and talkative, or very quiet
and straightforward. But either way it seems they are a bit eccentric.
And thats not really bad either. Maybe they're truely infected with
"binary thinking?"

Same here. My uncle was an aviation machinist, and very bright on top
of that. He always had something going on! He once built a fold-out
tent camper that was just cool as hell! He even sewed all of the
canvas on an industrial sewing machine that he got for a few bucks
because he had to fix IT! This camper worked like a charm, he used
conduit for the arms, and it would set up in just a few minutes. Had
windows in it that zipped down, and he got the zippers from somewhere
that made them, they were seconds and he had a big box of them. Looked
a little funky because they were all different colors, but he was
frugile, too!

We all are. But for some reason, liberals tend to use it as a 'name' for
conservatives.
