All manual machining although I do have DROs on my bench mill.
Wish to thank Steve Hucks for an assist on crank and Terry Mayhugh for some info.

That looks great and sounds great! Nice work. I understand the "wall of shame"; I have an "OOPS!" box for every project I do, which provide lessons for the future.
I am just curious, so how large of a model airplane would that be able to be mounted in and made flyable as a remote control plane?

Thank you. The plans state on them that the engine is not intended to mounted on a model airplane.
That being said it probably could be, but I would never put something in the air that I spent almost 2 years building. I flew RC so I know what happens to things that go up, they must come down and not always in one piece. As to size , I have no idea but the engine itself weighs in the 11 lbs. range so it would have to be rather large.
