I got it from an old friend,we used to fly planes together,he got it for the engine and didn't want the rest,I bought it for $20 and he through in some old radios.I'm hoping to make a shaft for it,shouldn't be too hard.I don't like my chances of finding a body for it :( .Im thinking I could use an OS .20 plane engine???
