MAC 28, Sithl FS 56 or Weed eater feather light
I have all these old string trimmes and an old homelite trimmer. Which would make the easiest conversion?
Ant to do this on the cheap and see if I like it.

the mac, featherlite and homie are all pretty easy conversions, if sticking with magneto ignition all you need is a hack saw and pliers to break off the front housing, then a simple prop adapter

I like the Mac 28. I have modded mine by filing the top of
the piston to increase the bypass timing, and filed the exhaust
raised the compression by taking out the gasket. I am running
on board glow with 5% cool power green and E-85 and getting
just over 8000 rpm with an 18\6 APC. Flying a CAP 232 with it.
Low vibration. Also, put in a Bowman ring.
