ABOUT
An introduction to the design, operation, and maintenance of small internal combustion engines used in model aviation.
Forster explains the principles behind two stroke and four stroke model engines, detailing how fuel, compression, ignition, and mechanical layout interact to produce reliable power at miniature scale.
The book also serves as a hands on guide for builders and flyers, covering installation, tuning, troubleshooting, and routine care. Forster walks through common operational issues, starting difficulties, overheating, inconsistent running, and provides straightforward methods for diagnosing and correcting them.
