Seems to me that the run time is going to be incredibly short utilizing upright running only. I suppose for a trainer it would work just fine.

This engine looks like a Black Widow wanna-bee that is afraid of inverted flight.
But you have to give CI credit for marketing a different variation on the Babe Bee theme. It sure looks neat.

It's only $5 more than a similarly spec'd Babe Bee. The $5 gets the purchaser a unique black tank and spring starter.
The crankcase can be re-clocked to have the cylinder in any of four positions, if one desires-just like all the other reedies. And if for free-flight, then change where the fuel pickup tube ends in the tank.

I know I'm considering blacking a Pee Wee or two for my next project just for the novelty.
