Clerget 9b Running

After two years of work my Clerget 9b is finally running. Now I just have to finish the rest of the Sopwith Triplane it is going to power.

Nothing of the airframe, yet, all I have is piles of parts scattered throughout the house.

I intend to make most of the parts before I start assembly of the airframe.

Some joggers don't like engines. That's why they run...
Or the sound of the running Clerget made him pass and run.

Chris, thanks for sharing the video on the forum. Excellent, congratulations !!
