Default RE: I converted a glow engine to run on E85

Sorry if these questions annoy anybody, I'm totally new to this and just trying to get some general info.

Can a smaller 40-60 size nitro engine be converted to run on E85 and run well?

Do you just mix E85 with gas 2-cycle oil or the oil used in nitro fuel for the 40-60 size engines (castor/synthetic)?

I see a lot about carbs, would you keep the same carb for the smaller engines (if it works)?

How about the crank position pickup and ignition? Is that off the shelf parts?

Thanks.
