Hmmm, well, to me this airplane is a little small for gas conversion engines, but it will be interesting to see how it flies.

You've put a bit of work into the ignition system, but here's a way to make it lighter if you're interested...

Both CH ignitions and Horizon Hobby have adapters to install a glow plug in the spark plug hole. ($9.95) Then install a Saito or OS four stroke glow plug, and use a 2 to 1 mix of high test gasoline to a 10% oil and 10% nitro glow fuel. It will run great, and all you have to do is open up the mixture needles a bit. You will lose all the weight of the ignition system, and gain a little power that way.
