Game: Guess the mystery object !

[AUTO XX]

Oh man, I remember those engines!
I was a dumpster diver when I was a little kid and I took apart everything I could get my grubby little paws on.
Found a broken down rc plane and it had one of those engines in it.
I tried to use it with (car) gas and motor oil (didn't really understand 2-stroke), the engine actually ran for about 20 seconds after I figured out to hook a 6v lantern battery to it while spinning it with a drill >.<
I got into nitro rc cars a few years ago and immediately saw my mistakes but I did learn about how an engine works with it.

I must have a half dozen of them here somewhere
collecting dust with some .15 and .35 engines...
Today I'm strictly R/C electric... lot quieter and a lot less
messy...

PCMCIA Card

 

[lasersbee]

It's a Printed Circuit Board with Surface mount
components.... and seeing that this is a Laser
related Forum.... Maybe a Laser Driver PCB...
I think I see a Resistor and a Diode and a Pot...
