The only thing I can visualize is the connecting rod could be attached to a gear which is mated to another gear that drives the crankshaft. If that's the case it must have a very short stroke.

I looked it up. It's a wobble plate type motor. Crazy!

Re: I would love to take this apart!
Is it some type of Wankel engine or variation thereof?
Check out the Wankel explanation on Wikipedia.

Nope,
It's a design that is tough to explain. Looks like it works on leverage. The link I posted shows it in detail.

Ron, our former club president used to fly the Aero. Truly a neat engine. It works on the same basis as a reciprocating saw . The engine is really cool to see run and it does indeed present less vibration but it really wasn't a powerhouse. Ken

Re: I would love to take this apart!
I've got an old magazine revue of this engine, complete with break down and specs, but can't seem to find the sucker. If I come across it, I'll scan and post here.
