I have a new project I would like to try. I would like to convert the Goldberg Chipmunk 400 to glow. Maybe a .049 or .061 would do the trick. But would like to see what the more glow experienced think.

Don't want a speed plane, but if it will fly stable I can handle it.

I know I will have to build a better firewall and fuel proof the wood.

Leaning more towards the Norvel engines, but the AP's seem to be a good value if I do the mandatory cleaning and bolt check before starting.

Just want options and opinions. Possible props, glow fuel %


See ya,
Rod
