Yes it's almost 1/2A but I'm curious .I still own this engine and I flew a bit with it in my youth. Did anyone else on this forum ever fly a Pogo 09. Most know of it as a model car engine but it also was capable of being used on a plane. Not a world beater but with that long shaft it made for an interesting team racer type that I built so far back when.

Off the wall?
Long nose?

I cannot remember where I found this scan:

edit:
Can anyone see a place for fuel tank in the plan?
This might work better with a skinny electric motor

I THINK it was also used in a plastic RTF of either the XFV-1 or XFY-1, whichever was designated POGO (I'm thinking XFY-1). I never had one, but remember drooling over one in my LHS in the late fifties. I believe it had a throttle and was supposed to take off vertically.
