Status: offline 		Ok, I have this beautiful flite metal bird, it has a ST 2300 glow in it, Im tired of the glow, I love gas, simple, cheap, fun. NOW, Im running an 18x8 prop on this thing, it is far from overpowered, I need similar or better power on it with a gas engine, and I want it to fit inside the cowl, is it possible?

Ive seen alot using a G38, but hacking up the cowl on the bottom, any advice?

Thank you!

If fitting within the cowl is an issue, The 2.4 could fit a little better. I have used Zinger 18X10 with them with great performance. My engines are muffled and I et arounf 7400 on the ground for a slightly rich run. I will try to up load some pdf files so you can see if they will fit. Dan.

Status: offline 		Here are a couple of images of a 3.2 that I used in a Hughes Racer. It was pretty painful cutting away the cowl I had just got done making but I had to clear the engine. It also helps with cooling and carburator performance. Maybe you can get some ideas after seeing this. Dan.

If you give me a few days I can tell you if the Evolution 35 will fit in the cowl. My Midwest T-6 is getting an OS 1.60 but I do have the Evo laying around and can see how it fits the T-6 cowl. The Evo is pretty compact so it just may go.

Status: offline 		revisiting, like a lightweight RELIABLE gas powerplant for this thing, thoughts? Thought about electric too, but a warbird being electric is just a crime. Maybe a DLE30?
