Default RE: GP Super Stearman

The G26 is an amazing engine. I run two of them currently on a Cermark Pitts and Sukhoi. One is converted to EI and weighs about 2.5 lbs without muffler. The conversion was done by Ralph Cunningham and I gotta tell you this guy knows his Zenoah engines. The ignition unit is housed in the rear mount of the engine keeping it all very clean. Very much worth the investment... it runs perfectly! This would be a perfect plane for a converted G26. I can't wait to hear how well they fly. Please keep us posted.
