MG MGA - AA HAA BMC Alternate propulsion device.

Hi Guys

The title says it all this early prototype must have slipped off of the secret test bench in Abington . HAD to have been for the MGA as it was so far ahead of its time!!!

Since most piston aircraft engines have a magneto ignition, they don't need a battery and generator to run. Many old small planes like Piper Cubs had no electrical systems and are started by spinning the prop. If you wanted to add a radio, they often added a wind powered generator.

I dunno, turn that propeller the right way and you could gain some acceleration. ;)
