If well executed, it’s kinda neat. There are a couple of vids floating around, one with slower, more reasonable running.  The exhaust smoke rings are cute…..   as usual, it’s all about execution.

Meanwhile, their corner of China is getting battered with strict Covid quarantine etc.

I will be reviewing this soon and posting a video.
They are preparing shipment now.

The listed weight is likely accurate. the board is nearly 14" long (35 cm)

I just stumbled across a sideshaft horizontal model engine I haven't seen before. It is listed here:

https://www.stirlingkit.com/collections/internal-combustion-engine/products/vintage-horizontal-mill-engine-stationary-engine-model-4-stroke-gasoline-ice

If it had dual flywheels it would be awesome. If you can believe the weight of 6500g it is a pretty hefty model. The Holt 4cy is listed at 3500g. Only one picture, plus a short vid of it running. Looks like the water pump is under the left shaft. Don't see a gov; has a super simple carb. Hope to see more photos soon.[attach=1]
