Thanks Unka Bob I knew you'd know. It's a Walter engine I heard of Walter
engines but I never heard the term LOM for them. Mary Carlson of Carlson
Aviation has one in their Storch replica called a Cricket. I've seen it in their
plane. See I just learned something. Just like Sister Mary Pontius Pilot used to
say "keep your eyes open and your mouth shut and ya moght learn something" :-)

I wonder why they use such a low compression ratio? Even car engines
running regular usually run 8:1. This one is 6.3:1.
It would reduce the stress on the parts, allowing less expensive
materials than a reliable high compression engine.
