Default RE: Kwik Fli III on gas?

I recently finished building an Aeromaster and decided to try the 10gx. I had a number of issues with the setup (not the engines fault) I have many classic pattern planes and I would rather have a glow engine in all of them. Remember you need a place for the ignition box and battery and thats the biggest issue. You cant put the ignition box in the receiver area. If its slime you want to get away from the slime is greater with this gas engine. I gave up and removed the engine and installed a OS 55AX (not as strong as the gasser) I'm getting one of my old OS 60 SR engines ready to install and thats the way I will leave it untile I get bugs out of system. Oh, the stock muffler sucks so you will need to replace it. and use Hi-temp tubing to connect to the pressure tap on the muffler. If you have a fuse deep enough to get the Ignition box into go for it. If you try the engine put it into the trainer first and get it broken in, start with 10X6 prop. The engine makes good power after break in thats not a problem.
