desertpig,

I'm sorry, but I have to give you a humorous dig, and please take it light heartily. I have read your posts on the UltraStick Lite because I bought one and put a G26 on it. I know you love the G26 from other posts, and I do finally, but.... I have had at least 12 dead sticks with it, fought the way through the learning curve of richening in the air because of the vent hole picking up air pressure, to the engine quitting when brought to idle, to trying to start the d...m thing, to breaking the prop mount stud. I converted a Homelite 45cc for my Christen Eagle and the engine has never died, starts like a champ, and pulls the plane around to my satisfaction.

Now that I have been there, none that with converting the Homelite, I will probably buy a factory built engine in the future. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another G26 either, because it is a great little engine.
