Well now, I didn't have to wait long for that .... thanks!

The flywheel appears to be running perfectly true, at least I could detect no runout in your video, so that is always a good sign of a quality build!!

Only thing missing from your video that I would have wished for, was to see if it would perhaps start with just a flick of the wrist, instead of using the drill motor, but I know that can be hard on your wrist mate, so I'll cut you some slack on that one!!!

Just amazed every time I look at it how Jin miniaturised the Lister-D to this scale......I feel like a want a full sized one now! I must not look in the classifieds because they do come up regularly down here.

Daniel, this model engine has metal piston rings .... I think with a good flick it would start up.
