Four-Cylinder Aircraft Engine Components
The display base is shown here without the engine. Laid out in the orderly display are all the components needed to make this tiny engine. (Photo courtesy of Thomas Oversluizen.)

Five-Cylinder Radial Engine
Another close-up reveals the fine work in both the engine as well as the laminated, three-bladed wooden propeller.
Five-Cylinder Radial Engine Parts
A close-up of some of the individual parts that make up George’s miniature five-cylinder radial engine. Each tiny part requires a remarkable level of precision in order to make an engine this small that can actually run.
Stover Hit-N-Miss Engine
This small Stover hit-n-miss engine is another example of George’s work. (Photo courtesy of Thomas Oversluizen.)
