That is really cool. Did you machine it or did you find something to use, as you said you would?

Bit of both Moof' :laugh:
Was restricted to what I could use due to spinning the head down first! :dry:
Its actually a hydraulic damper centre barrel with one endcap from a Bell 47 Helicopter! :woohoo:

The next one is a lot simpler, just a piece of alloy pipe and a large plate washer! ;)

Got the hull back from paint!
Free 2 pack paint job is always a plus!
Still have to paint in the blackout areas and get some decals!

Motor mounts... throttle assembly... SCRATCHING AT ITS BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a super job. I'm really going to hate the size of hole you're going to have to cut in the top :( But so far... Great Job!!!

Thanks mate! ;)
Hoping to find a electronic ignition kit over here cheap enough so I can get rid of that big flywheel!
Hoping not to end up cutting anything if anything I will get the new style top or try making my own.
Got the watercooled head done ready for some porting and a final cleanup!

Hey Oz... I have a C & H Ignition I used on 100cc airplane engine I don't use anymore. If you're interested give me a shout, when you say find a cheap one... is $10.00 bucks too much? Let me know... I want to see that beast on the water.
