There are small two stroke diesel engines similar to 2 stroke gas engines. Popular in the model airplane category. Thing is, if someone has one, don't just pick up the plane and flip the prop. If there's any oil (Diesel) left in the engine at all, it WILL start. This has happend to several people and if they are lucky, they are able to retain grip on the plane when it starts unexpectedly. Then they just have to hold on till it dies again.
