INFO: The Gilbert .11 Thunderhead is a vintage model airplane engine that was manufactured by the A.C. Gilbert Company in the 1950s and 1960s. It is a .11 cubic inch displacement glow plug engine that was designed for use in control line and free flight model airplanes.

The engine is a side-port design, which means that the carburetor is located on the side of the crankcase. This design was unusual for model airplane engines of the time, but it made the engine easier to start and tune.
