Fuji Imvac BT-24a for a 60 size sport airplane?
I am looking for a magneto gasser that can me mounted to a 60 size sport airplane. I do not want electronic ignition. Does such a magneto engine exist?
I have been looking at the Fuji Imvac BT-24A (magneto) @ 3.43 lbs for a 60 size Sig Four Star 60. Is this engine too heavy for a 60 size aircraft?

That engine is good for a 10 to 15 pound model that might take a .91 to 1.20 glow size. You'd do better with the Sig Four Star 1.20

You probably won't find a magneto gas engine that will fit on a 4 Star 60.
If you're willing to pay their price Saito has some little 4 stroke gassers. They are electronic ignition though.

Thank you Charlie P. and WCB for all of your help! 1.20 is the way to go then for a magneto gasser.

Charlie P.,
Sig no longer offers the Four Star 1.20 as an ARF. With the exception of the Hangar 9 Pulse 125, Can you recommend an airplane that is similar to the 1.20 Four Star ARF model in regards to its flight characteristics? If so, where can I find this ARF
