003.AVI Vintage 1939 Atom .097 model airplane engine , test run ,

Heres an E-BAY find , a super cool 1939 ATOM .097 , she was a bit stiff when she showed up at my door , god only knows when she ran last, I think the great mind of Ray Arden gave birth to this awesome little critter!! there is some wicked little force with this engine, yea it must have been so cool to have plunked your hard earnd money down at a real hobby shop ,can anyone out there tell me what was the kit of choice for this engine, I want to try my hand at free flight , I have a few engines that I will be listing just like this one the best part of this engine is it was MADE IN THE U.S.A....amen !!
