We, Harry Tune and myself, built and raced toy airplanes. We made our own pistons, liners, heads, pins with retainers, gaskets, tooling and fixtures. Bore size was .737” displacement was .34 of a cubic inch. We learned a lot about straight and round. We mixed our own fuel. Laboratory nitromethane is clear like water and makes more power than that yellow stuff.

That was a lot of fun!

Disassemble is moving faster now.
