In the 82 mag they were lamenting that the Bullet was no longer available, I'll get around to going through my earlier mags (Back as far as "Model Maker"!) at some stage and see what I can turn up.
Hi Kiwi,
Thank you very much for the info.
I would like to use this motor in a 48" Aerokits fire tender hull that I had previously converted to a petrol strimmer motor with a variable pitch prob unit. It all turned out to be a bit too uncontrollable (over powered!) - good fun mind you!!
Your data is just what I needed.

Many thanks.
PS ... If anyone is looking for a strimmer motor complete with centrifugal cluch, fuel tank, valves & exhaust........ I've got one in the garage.
