Status: offline 		A LHS has a converted Kioritz gas engine. The owner knows very little about it. It is very small, maybe 18 to 20cc. Anybody know anything about these. I search the web a little and found some Sears weedeaters used these. Just curious about finding a light, less expensive (than RCS 1.4) engine for the larger 60-90 sized planes (not asking for too much...) Thinking about the Sig Astro Hog or 4*120, maybe even the 76" Lazy Ace.

Status: offline 		I have several Koritz 2.4s and a koritz twin but have not ever seen a smaller conversion of their engines. Are you sure you want to add the weight of a gasser, its easyer to use a 4cy, and get pretty much the same power at that size. Ken....The "BALSA BANDIT"

Status: offline 		Yea, I want to add the extra weight..I like small gas engines. They're clean, less expensive to operate , usually require no starter-the small ones or ones with spring starters. But for all those creature comforts you sacriface wing loading...making landings and aerobatics more difficult. I think the 4*120 and 76" Lazy Ace bipe could carry the extra weight OK.

I must admit that 4cy's are my next farorite, love that smell, sound and better power to weight! Life is a such trade off!

Status: offline 		Had one for a short time on a 1/4 Monocoupe. Was someone elses attempt at a gas conversion. The stock carb has a very small venturi which limits it's power. It started easy and ran well but would only turn a 14-8/15-6 prop. I needed more ump so I sold it
