This is awesome, I'm glad there is at least one other person out there that likes the old stuff. I hate that he used a BMW trans but I'm guessing it was an engine with the rear chopped off to put it in a plane (somewhat common for these motors I am told) so he probably had to come up with something. I am well aware that parts for these are not plentiful or easy to access!
In any case, it's inspiration. I have a 1918 version of this same engine. The things holding me up are, firstly pistons, second a frame/wheels/seat/lights/brakes/etc. I'm pretty sure if I can get the first thing then I can make the motor run and from there I can build a frame and acquire the rest as I go. Pistons are so hard to find, and I don't have any originals to base off of, that I'm kind of stuck....
But it's still good to see what can be done, even if I am pretty jealous the guy beat me to it!

Egge will have your pistons and rings, call them. If they don't have them, they'll make them:

Have I ever led you wrong?
Actually, that's Rob's Henderson (the other dude who posts here), but thanks, Rich.
...and no, you've never led me wrong.
