Yes it is a scratch built, and it does have some similar looks to a smaller RM. And yes it came out on the odd size. I don't have any other choices for engines right now. With the .09 it was rather nose heavy.

Sorry, Guys. No video. Old fuel, and a dead power panel battery caused me no small grief!

I suspect this is my Fox .35 fuel at about 5-10% Nitro, 25% oil (60/40 castor/synthetic). Did I say old?

My youngest son gave me a gift last night...a foot hole in one of the interior house walls while pitching a fit. We have been busy patching the hole and prepping to paint the whole hallway.

Anyway, on a Zinger wood prop 7/4, we got 12,500 rpm.

If I get a quiet moment tonight, I'll make up a fresh (controlled/known) batch and try again tomorrow. The power panel battery should be charged too. So that should make it easier to start the engine, instead of a D-cell pinching the glowplug clip in one hand while flipping with the other.
