I personally loved the concept and in fact made up a unit, using an inverted OS model plane engine, 1:1 chain driven from the crank, using a simple spray bar carb. On reflection, this was 20+ years ago.
As usual, I didn't have a dyno to prove it on, but it certainly could be made to idle very smoothly.
Just don't know why Fletto hasn't tried this: he just loves an engine with a small crank and piston on top of the main cylinder.





I love it, I was told a number of times when I was a young fella a IC engine was just a fuel/air pump and here you are using that model plane engine as a pump!
Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.
. . . That shit's Nasty.
