I've seen that before...is it a hoot or what? He has spent a lot of time and effort. I hope he has a patent and is finally able to manufacture and market that little dude. Not quite sure what the use would be, but I saw a 5 cylinder 400cc radial model airplane engine the other day selling for $6495. To think some people feel we are crazy spending what we do on our cars!

That would look great in an appropriate scale drag boat.

Hi,
VERY COOL!
I'm working on a 1/8 scale Ferrari F-40. The detail is better BUT IT'S PLASTIC.
So this engine wins every time. WOW!!!

Alan

There's another guy, name is Conolly, who made a running super charged small block back in the 90's before Moyer. I fly R/C airplanes and belonged to the club that sponsored The largest Model airplane, car & boat show in the northeast at the Westchester County Center in White Plains every year. This guy also had a running V-10. It was really amazing seeing & hearing these run. They were in boats as well. Here's some links. Very cool stuff.
