I wish I could show it spinning. |

Ifound an old ball bearing in my junk that fit, so I used it for the motor mount. I was able to make the mount work so now, you turn the prop and the engine turns like a true rotary. |

| Yhis looks like the real thing. I would say the investment was well worth it. |

All cylinders in place, now to add the pushrods, valve springs and intake pipes. |

It turns out that Williams Bros. LeRhone 1/12th scale cylinder kits fit the bill perfect for this build. Very nice parts but at $3.25 a pop, 9 cylinders eats up about $30.00 |

| Williams Bros. has a great tutorial on scratch building crank cases, its on the RC accys page about half way down. I just followed the instructions. |

Crankcase front. |

To make the dome shaped part of the crankcase front, I found these plastic bicycle handlebar end plugs in my junk. |
