This is the place to convert electrics to glow engine power! But both directions of conversion get talked about at times.

For reference a good TD .049 will peak at about 80 watts output, a Black Widow about 60 watts, Medallion .09 RC 120-ish, TD .09 165-ish. Rough numbers but it puts things in perspective. It is easy to stuff some more hp in there when converting. It's also beneficial to swing a bit more prop at lower rpm to cut down the prop noise if that is a consideration.
