1. Engineering drawings of small model engines used for model aircrafts. They are designed for manufacturing and working, not not like showcase item. We can actually build them.

I still have a Cox .049 engine in the basement somewhere.

Of course that's .049 cubic inches (~ 0.82 cc), huge compared to the one in the article.

Outerzone is a great site for (mostly vintage) model aircraft plans.

Cut my fingers up many times as a kid trying to start Cox model airplane engines…
