Well, It appears that interest in small gassers is not overwhelming...

For those that do not yet know me from other forums, here are a few examples of what small gassers can be like.

Ease of operation: this is a 5 cc fourstroke, video was shot with stone cold engine, not warmed up, not primed, not run for 24 hrs previously. Engine still has stock carburettor, the mixture is continuously adjusted via a curve programmed in the transmitter, the actual fuel metering is done with a tiny solenoid borrowed from a Stihl M-tronic engine. This is NOT a fluke or lucky shot, it starts like this consistently...

Excellent throttle response in singles: a 100% stock, unmodified ASP .91 2stroke, running a pipe, same set-up with the mixture being controlled via transmitter and fuel metering solenoid.
Excellent throttle response in twins: A 100% stock ASP FT160
And even in radials:

All three with stock glow carbs, and no or only minimal mods to the induction system (NO Ray English, Morris Mini Motors or other commercial mods, nor imitations of it).

My engines do not only work on the bench, they fly too (duh, what would be the point if they didn't?), and as long as a suitable engine is selected, performance is just as good as we are used with glow fuel:


Not yet shown in these videos, but latest development is to integrate automatic mixture correction for ambient temperature and barometric pressure. Still under development (already 2 planes flying with it, testing so far gives positive results).

For what it is worth: I am NOT a vendor, and I do NOT have commercial interests. I will voluntarily share everything I know about the subject, and if needed, any materials I can supply at zero profit, but I would encourage people to try and make their own, it really is not rocket science...
