At long last, my Banggood large Stirling engine has arrived. I ordered this the same night that Jim put his on the Forum and gave a review of it. He was impressed with the price and quality, and now that mine has finally arrived after two months or more of waiting, I would have to agree.
I especially like the flywheel, which is a far cry above the standard CNC flywheel with round holes drilled into it, rather than spokes. It runs on the smallest flame and runs for a very long time, even after removing the heat source. Even though Banggood has a known reputation of selling things that they do not have in stock, I ordered this from them because I could not find it anywhere else.

Glad you're happy with it Doug, awesome quality and value aren't they.
I have lost count of the hours I have run mine for now.
After reading Jim's article, I also ordered one on January 2nd and as I wait, it feels like a couple months ago!
The extended axle just begs for a brass pulley wheel to be mounted and they aren't shy in being able to run accessories.
Mine just arrived today!
Yes, very much worth the wait.
The quality is astounding for the price paid.
Here are a couple pictures.

This thing is big!
It dwarfs the Hog Stirling Motor. Appears as better quality, too.

Yes, they really are a great addition.
Does Banggood still list these? I'm having trouble finding one...
Very nice looking engines those, thanks for sharing
