Funny you guys started this thread. I had a 25cc Whipper Snipper that the starter spring jammed up in so I did this

And now I have got this far and am not quite sure what to do next....

All of the surplus casting has been milled away and you can see the flywheel has been heavily trimmed on my lathe and mill to save weight.
The 14" prop is a bit small but it was the biggest the hobby shop had.
I was going to mount it on a stand and wire in a kill switch to see if I could start it by flipping the prop before getting carried away.
Any help or guidance will be appreciated. I think it needs to go in an 80" wing span plane.
I have just the plane for you, Fiberglass fuse, lite ply balsa sheeted wings ready to cover/paint, fit engine/radio gear and away you go. Too bad your not in W.A. I'd probably give it away real cheap. Gave the hobby away 10 years ago, got shed full of stuff collection spiders.
Props, crikey got heaps all big ones too right up to 22 " that should give some idea of the motors I used to run.
BTW, I'd advise most definitely fit a kill switch to the magento, this prevents ignition when some idiot walks past and tries to flip the prop while your not looking.
Last but not the least, I have a gas turbine plane collecting spider webs, every body expects me to give it away for nothing.
IF, I was to ever receive a GENUINE offer, I'd probably sell it very cheap.
Maybe some one would be interested in buying just the turbine for a show piece ?
I'm open to offers.
