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

These conversions are neat, and Max does very nice work. However, the engines were designed for cooler running methanol (glow fuel) and more oil. So keep this in mind when running them on gasoline. Don't advance the timing too far, don't ever run them too lean, use enough good quality oil, and make sure you have a good cooling system setup on your plane. If you keep these things in mind, you probably will have no problems.

Max is doing some very nice work, and it will be interesting to see what he comes up with in the future.
