Has anybody made a running model of a sleeve valve IC engine? I'd love to see a video or pics.

I think that, despite itsdisadvantages, a sleeve valve engine is just plain clever!

I'd love to build one.

Some discussion on on sleeve valve model engines is at:

And more discussion at on a possible build

In addition, there is, or at least was, a commercial RC engine that used a rotating sleeve, as opposed to an oscillating sleeve, that was on the market.
