Single Cylinder Opposed

Beautiful Build Ray.

Have figured out what's next?
 
That is an interesting engine and I will have to think on that one a while.


The engine now has a home.

I had an old kitchen cabinet that I mounted on the shop wall but hadn't decided what to put in it yet.
I cut out the center of the door and put in a piece of plexiglass. I still have room above for something else but it will have to be small.

First, Congratulations on such a well executed, lightning fast build! In almost 10 years here at HM, I don't think I've seen any project go so smooth.

Here's an odd ball engine I have been obsessed with since I remember reading about it in Popular Mechanics Science magazine back in the 70's:

If you're a committed moto-fiddler, whether motorcycle or otherwise, prepare for multiple mindgasms. This highly weird story dating back to the '70s, is about a lone engineer geniusing up an ultra-radical, comically simple two-stroke engine that by rights should be powering a hefty chunk of the...

I have downloaded the plans for a 3 Vee air model shown in Popular Mechanics July 1965 that look doable.
If I decide I will start a new thread.

Do the spark plugs rotate? And if so, how would that work???
