Thanks.

I really thought I would get more than one response to this however!!

Oh well, it flies great, and I would highly recommend a similar project to anyone interested in the smaller conversion motors. The Kioritz 23.6cc stroker motor I built is just great. Most flying is at half throttle or less, and when I open it up; look out!

As I said, weight came out very reasonable at 9.5 lbs. and with the 1000 square inches of wing area, it still just floats in like a feather for landing. I used my computer radio to dial in a little aileron differential, and the rolls are straight as an arrow. I'm sure having fun with it!! The only thing I would do different, and might change, is that I gutted the stock muffler, cut it in half, then welded a plate across where I cut. In this plate I drilled holes and brazed in two 7/16" brass tubes. If anything, it is too quiet! Next time, I'll use larger tubes, and probably gain some power as well as a more throaty sound.

Take care,
