    Bonjour Gil,
    Where do you add the fuel ? The large glass box in the top seems to be an oil lubricator and is empty, am I right, is it normal ?

      Good question... Oiler is used as a fuel rank. Not needed as it is easier to pour fuel into the open top float bowl on the carburetor.

    That's so rad! Too bad no useable drive so you can mount it to something. Be cool to put in an RC boat or something

      Fan end can easily be a drive.

    Any back story about who built it or how old it is? Really cool!

      No idea who built it. I would expect it to be pre-war.

    Doesn't it have a Idle screw, What is that a antique kit From Popular Mechanics, Or did you Build that.

      I only know it is old. Did Pop Mechanix have plans for this?

    Brilliant. Why don't all model builders put a flywheel on there engines rather than something dangerous, like a propeller?

    • @reddrryder

      The propeller on this one is also a flywheel and no more dangerous than any spoked flywheel.
