Best of all, it is made to run inverted & the remote needle allows flexibility with the fuel tank location.
With CDI it uses 1 oz of 15% glow fuel per minute @ WOT. With GI it swills 12 oz of the same fuel in 7 minutes!
That'd be nice to have, Tele - but I already have my 180. A bit short on funds these days, so I'll have to make do with what I have. The 109 has been a 'hangar queen' for like 3 years already - time to whack the 180 into it and see what happens.
As an aside, I'd love to find a way to make an inline 3 or 4 cyl 4-stroker using whatever top-ends I can get my hands on (OS, Saito, ASP etc.). I have a mill and a lathe, so I could probably do most if it myself - the hard part would be the crank.
Unless... of course...there's a way to "daisy chain" 3 or 4 existing single cylinder 4 strokes to make a single long engine.
Surely... someone's tried to connect the prop shaft of a motor behind to the crank/drive of a motor in front before (??)
My thinking would be that for a 3 cylinder rig, each individual donk would be timed 120 deg apart.
Do-able?
