Bought as a gift for my 83 yr ol dear ol dad. Got it for my 5 yr old nephew.

I own several sunnytech hot air engines all of which show first rate fit and finish and run beautifully
I would highly recommend buying from sunnytech

If you use regular fuel like charcoal starter or butane fluid then it’s gonna leave a black residue on the glass tube and you will need magic erasers to get it off

You may have to kick start the engine to get it running
