at the local airport there is this huge display of model aircraft engines, like 1/30 scale or something. but they all run, and they are seriously bad ass. the amount of time and CNC effort that goes into them must be insane. some of them are flat 4s, some are wierd 3 cyls arranged in a triangle. the coolest ones are the 18 cyl radial engines w/superchargers. these things are tiny, but some of them make like 12 hp. they are just bad ass, i want a kit or something.
