OS Piston Pin - Gas Engines

[Lee Davis]

I've talked to a couple of gas engine manufacturers, and they think it's
doable.  As much as anything, the hold-up is that the ones producing high
performance engines are running at full capacity to fill orders for what
they already offer.

Such an engine would also be perfect for all the "120" size sport/scale
aerobatic ARFs.  It's a big market and somebody's bound to do it eventually.
It'd be nice if it was sooner than later.

A 35cc-40cc + ignition at no more than around 35 oz.  How tough could it
be...sheesh!
