Well.
I think I scored a great point here. A lot of converter defending the right to explore differents matters closely relatives to modeling. I realize now that We are a lot around the flying fields.

I respect desertpigs point ofview since averybody loves a different face in this hobby, some loves to build, others to fly, me the conersions and scratch building, some other just like to go to the field and talk.

Would be nice a great fun fly only with conversion. How could we call it??
..."Trimmers and Chainsaws fun fly".....the people will think we are crazy flying a grass trimmer.

A last story: When i told to a fellow at the field that my 80" span model I was flying was powered with a gas trimmer he got very excited and ask me if I could convert for him the engine from a juicemaker his wife has at home.......???
O.K. I replied, only if you an afford 1500 feet of electrical wire to keep the airplane powered from the wall inlet at the clubhouse!!!

The he realize.....

By now my friend who owns the ryobi with troubles did not called me any more, so I asume that or he solved the problem or definitvely gave up. Hope to be the first alternative. But if you want to continue with conversion jokes and stories........
