This company started building small power engines for motorized paragliders, delta planes and ULM.

-The first one was a horizontally-opposed two-cylinder engine giving 20 HP and a three-cylinder radial engine that gave 30 HP.

-Currently, it is beginning the development of other medium-power engines for light VLA aircraft, starting with a four-cylinder horizontal opposed engine with 800 cc and around 90 HP of power.

-The position of the exhausts and the intakes of the mixture of the carburetors is clearly a two-stroke. This system is maintained in the following 1200 cc six-cylinder radial engine.

-The 1200 cc Star gives 130 HP. Being two-stroke, a star engine with even cylinders is possible.

The author of this edition of Aeroengines AtoZ, through Aeroteca, collaborated on Version 2 of this video, which is presented here.

To understand the operation of the connecting rods, the 1929 Continental R 670 single-cylinder engine was chosen.

A demonstration of Version 3, improved at the author's suggestion, is also available on YouTube at a later date. This version shows bronze valve guides, improved valve spring movement, and the split crankshaft counterweights and front bearing balls also move.

The design is from Juan Soler, Sant Cugat, Barcelona

Below we show a flash of version 3
