Description: Approx .15 . C/L or Speed/ FF? No throttle body. Vertical on engine name
"BYPAH" on other side of case is a circle with a hand giving "thumbs up" sign. Just
below that "F 2 D". Engraved or stamped after completed on the mount side "72".
It has a round exhaust with a detachable soft white rubber noise suppressor.
Needle valve adjustment is a very small rigged button. Bottom of the crankcase cast "SIBERIA".
I have pics but do not know how to crop them down for RCG to accept.
Thanks Don-Basehor, Ks

Gonnacrash - what software have you got for photo work? Photoshop? Paintshop? So long as one of the formats availbale in it is .jpg you should be able to use it for RCGroups.
It is like most things in computing, difficult if you've not done it, but simple to do once you have instructions. Let us know what you have to work with and someone will be able to tell you how to do it, I'm sure.
Basic idea for these forums is to crop your pics to get the subject and as little else as possible showing. Then if you need to, alter the brightness and contrast, possibly add a bit of sharpness then save it in .jpg format. At his point you have the new pic and need to change its size to fit the screen available in the forum. It must be less than 100kb and for this I limit the resolution to 72 dpi(dots per inch). If your screen format is, say 1024 x 768 (popular with machines made in the last few years) this gives you something like 760 dots wide as a maximum pixels for your picture. Any more than that and the dreaded sliders appear.
I'm also interested in the engine, so get a reply back before we all bite our fingernails down waiting.

S C O O P :) :) :) :D :D
Mfg: Cyclone Company
Novosibirsk, Siberia
Date: 1994
Pronounced: Booran
Designer: Alexander Kalmikov
Type: Combat
Serial # 72
Size: 2.5cc (.15)
Seems Alexander was into speed flying and deisgned his own engines, and the company where he worked also made engines and they got together and produced these engines.
The two engines that I have appear to have never been run, and if so have been very well preserved.
Thanks for everyones interest.

As A10driver says, there are quite a lot of small run motors from the old USSR and surrounding countries. I've not seen your engine before, but the layout is typically Russian.
For control-line use, offset exhaust to make fitting outlets easier (never seen a rubber silencer like that before). Inlet typical venturi with fine needle to the jet.
I have a similar motor which was specifically designed for c/l combat. 2.5cc, twin exhaust stacks to get the exhaust over and under the leading edge of the wing and as a result allows the motor further back lightening the model. A rubber venturi which folds flat on impact when it gets tent-pegged to stop dirt getting into the engine. Very compact. Over all similarity to yours but with 2 stacks.
Here's a pic.
