Hi Rodolfo,
Thanks for the thought but unfortunately it's not so easy - or rather whenever I've gone looking for a company to do me one-offs before it's never been easy [] Any 'professionals' I approach will be looking at a £25 'tooling fee' and £25 per hour labour (min one hour) thereafter -> £50 = $90 approx. Time wise, again, a small company will fit it in as & when they can around their larger orders so that could be weeks - USPS is amazingly fast I've found

Add to that that I haven't got the foggiest idea of what I want them to machine as I have nothing to copy yet [sm=confused.gif] and I think a trans-Atlantic purchase will be easier. But... I've just found another Ryobi 31 wacker So maybe the parts for this second one could be copied.

I actually engaged my brain-cell earlier and did a Google search resulting in finding web-sites for JAG Eng. and Paragon Aero. Both have the conversion instructions on-line [sm=thumbup.gif] but both are quite a bit more expensive than Pete @ Wacker.

Would still love some on-line conversion images tho...

Hi Edwin,
Thanks for the Bandito info! I really like the look of your mod'ed plane, very 30's racer-esque. Nice [sm=thumbup.gif]

Hmm, the Ryobi's weigh 4lbs huh? That's over twice the 1.20 OS used in the SportStar (above). I can see why you had to move the firewall back by 3&1/4 inches aswell as it being longer! As I mentioned, I'll have to see if the designer will enter into some correspondance with me about modifications for the gas motor. But I need to get the engine running first - that should be fun! Eek, again!

Thanks again guys, keep the info coming as it's much appreciated.

Steve
