How much whittling did you have to do to the G23 to get the cylinder to fit? Or, was it the later version of the G23?

If you are still fiddling with the 21/24 cc Echos, and need parts, I stumbled...

Already have! :)

He states that the G290 uppers will fit the G26PU. So, I have ANOTHER project to play with!

You still converting ECHO engines these days? :)

Do you have any specifics, as to why it will not.

Will a Zenoah G320 cylinder and piston fit a G26 case?

I was wondering if One could install a G290, or G320, upper on a G26 airplane engine, to get more beans from the engine.

Thoughts? Hints? Suggestions?

Ok, this conversion has been out for a while, so I'd like to hear from you gents that are flying the BGX on gasoline.
Tell me about your experience, and what you like and dislike.

Thanks!

O.S. BGX-1 Motor Mount

Can any one tell me which beam mount to get for the BGX? My application will not easily allow using the radial mount supplied with the engine.

Thanks!

Ben: Since you have prior stck-twiddling experience, especially on big gassers, I'd say the Telemaster would suit. If you want to set it up as electric, and want to fly it like you did the gassers,...

RE: OS BGX-1 Glow to Gas Conversion (Yeah!) Thanks Max

Set your piston at Top Dead Center, and match up the Hall Effect Pick-up to the magnet. That will orient your ring. Then, adjust the screw position to be in the vertical plane.

Orient the pick-up ring such that the screw is in the vertical plane. Not the tab it runs through.

I bet THAT would have had a bit of "kick-back" when propped!

Do you have any drag racing activity in your area? If so, methanol will be available, and pretty inexpensive. If you are using strate meth, and oil (castor/synth blend), it'll be cheaper to "roll...

RE: OS BGX-1 Glow to Gas Conversion (Yeah!) Thanks Max

I believe he is using the 499 because it works better with alki fuels (larger porting, for the venturi size). Also, from my experience, having a slightly smaller venturi will make more torque.

RE: OS BGX-1 Glow to Gas Conversion (Yeah!) Thanks Max

I'd be curious to see if the crankcase, and the cylinder head, had the clearance to fit the 33GT rod. I dast believe some serious study
is called for.

RE: OS BGX-1 Glow to Gas Conversion (Yeah!) Thanks Max

Thus far, I haven't had time to set my engine up, and run it in. I am eager to get it up and running!
The "kit" I received looks very well laid out. I am waiting for a CDI test unit, and a timing...

RE: OS BGX-1 Glow to Gas Conversion (Yeah!) Thanks Max

I waited for several weeks for my BGX kit. The majority of the wait was caused during shipment.

As regards the used, rebuilt, carb, I'd have prefered a new carb, however, I belive the cost of...

RE: BALSA USA SWIZZLE STIK 60 SIZE

Does any body have an electronic copy of the Swizzle Stick/Stick 40 plan? I have a kit plan at home, but I need one here so I can start working on my own version of a Big Gas Stick.

Thanks!

As I will have an excess of power, I may go a bit larger in size. It will be a relatively

RE: I Come, Seeking Guidance! Enlarged BUSA Stik 40

Ok, just running some numbers...

From my research, the Quadra 42 will haul a 25# "hot" (warbird, sport aerobatic, etc) airplane around with confidence. So, keeping the weight between 22 and 28...
