The small-power micro-motors are widely used in different kinds of equipment including unmanned aerial vehicles. However, in the modern literature not so much attention is paid to the issues of parametric modeling of such engines. In this research there has been developed with the use of the “virtual engine” concept and existing parameterization options the method of building the parametric CAD-models of the piston micro-motors for further calculations in the CAE/CAM-suits. The general and specific recommendations have been provided. The efforts by building of such models have been estimated. The method allows simplifying, partially formalizing and parallelizing the piston micro-motors modeling process which allows reducing the time needed for the development thereof.
