-Quick update-

Called JAG engines and Dale(the guy who owns JAG engines) picked up. So I asked if the short shaft adapter would work and he said that it would since both the ryobi 31cc and the homelite 30cc have 5/16 shafts and have the same thread. So I went ahead and ordered the adapter, the prop washer, and the prop bolt. All for $31 shipped. He said that he wouldn't be able to make it until Monday after work and he would ship it Tuesday. So hopeful I'll have the adapter by Saturday the 18th.

I got the 16oz fuel tank that I am going to use in the plane built and connected it to the motor so now I just have to get the shaft cut and re threaded. I(well not me some one else is going to cut it)was going to cut to 3/4 of an inch based on the photo of the prop adapter. I might do the cutting and drilling on the muffler today and am thinking of two 1/2" holes for the outlet tubes. For the tubes I was going to use this this.

Thanks
