Conversion update
I've now twenty flights on the conversion since the repair, 28 total. No dead sticks in that time. It has handled upper 90's temperatures. When my bench is cleared of the current build project, the plan is to do an engine check and if all looks good, to raise the compression back to original and regain the 300 rpms lost. They enabled larger loops and higher hammer head climbs.
Construction on a 1/4 Aeronca Champ is nearing completion, powered by a Saito 182T converted to gas.
