  A glow plug will really screw into the thread in the crankcase.

  And the prop is spinning with the help of compressed air, I'm reckoning.. Back in the days of American Aircraft Modeler, there was an article on the "Zero Stroke Engine"  that was really quite well written. And in Model builder one year, there was an article of 'Helispheres", microballoons that were filled with helium to actually make your model lighter after application! It was very well written also.

I believe that is, indeed, a zero stroke engine.  It's too bad that the powers that be refused to make a competition class for them.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.
