    Very nice aircraft! Too bad no one has come up with miniaturized multi-jug engines to give it a real feel with lots of cool smoke effect at start up!

    There are some, but either too small (Moki makes a 400cc but it's only 13 HP) or too large ( the Rotec R2800 is about 110 HP.) Bally was limited by cowling size to maintain scale and uses modified Hirsch engines derated to about 40 HP.
    The Rotec hits the other criteria quite nicely:

    Way cool. Just proves that with enough time, desire, skill, and money, anything is possible.
