This appears a very accurate model of the original engine. Great sound.

Very nice in both looks and sound. So is this a genuine hot-tube engine, with no ignition system once up to temperature? I've seen model engines running on gas with a tiny spark plug, but never a true minature hot bulb/tube engine.

The ignition is by hot tube only and it was a devil's own job to get it to work initially, especially outdoors where the flame blows out easily. Gas mixture is critical and that is why I ended up having to double regulate and place a gas bag in the line to prevent pressure fluctuations.
