I think this concept has possibilities but may need some refinements. Years ago when I was a kid, I used to fly the Cox .049's and yes they can be tempermental at times. My concern is that since they are a reed valve engine, are those the reed plates behind the crankcases. The other concern is the size of the carb and air plenum. The carb seems a bit too big for the amount of displacement. I have a feeling the large size of the plenum will allow the air/ fuel mixture to slow down considerably allowing the mixture to seperate out and puddle in the bottom. An electric starter would be a definite help in starting this engine.
