Hi all, so far i have tried heating up WD40 using my camping stove in the shed. I have also tried Anti freeze and had no movement yet. i even found a bottle of Fairy power spray under the sink that i used ages ago to strip paint of some of my old models kits, but this has had no effect. I will try the hot engine in thinners next, and then maybe move on to the ether, but not in the shed, its tiny. i was also thinking of poasting a vid of it in its siezed state. and those in the know may spot problems or missing parts. Thanks again for all the input with this.

Hi Denis, Thanks for all the advise and i understand your point regards the title. The engine is in the shed soaking at present and will get more attention over the weekend, if that fails i will re post with a more appropiate title. Cheers, Austin.

Thanks for the reply Piers, i will post in the engine section of the forum and try to upload a video to see if anyone has any suggestions. there is a little movement but the piston seems to be fused to the sleeve. thanks again, Austin.

Hi all, To start with i would like to say that i have never flown anything, but would love to one day.. i used to watch my dad fly his SE5A but was never allowed to have a go....humph!!!! my plan is to start with one of those dvd 's with a controller. however i was talking to a college from work about one day building my own aircraft and flying it, the very next day he came to work and gave me an old engine from his garage. after a short time on Google i have found that it is a ED 1.46 Hornet, serial number ZA1835. This was confusing as i understand the last two numbers denote the year of manufacture, but as these came out much later than 1935, but for now this is besides the point.. i would firstly like to see if this will run even if it is not use for a future prodject.........but it seems to be seized. so you have probably guessed my next question....what is the best way to unseize it and do you think it could run? Thanks in advance for any help or info, Austin.
