Hi Jan, Hi Patrick

Jan: A humble answer to your humble question. I would like to get away from Glo fuel altogether for a couple of reasons. It is very expensive, it is a finicky fuel and most glow motors act finicky on it, it goes bad surprizingly quickly (which might be some of the finickiness) and it makes a very big mess on the airplanes. One thing I would miss about it is the smell. I love the smell of burning glow fuel. Charley has summed it up for me in his last post. I love four strokes: their sound and their power charicteristics, which is why I am looking to change one (or more) glow engines to gas. To my knowledge, on one makes a gasoline fired four stroke suitable for r/c aircraft. One would have to be converted from existing engines from yard equipment. Doggone are they heavy. I have some gas two strokes and they are fine. I am putting a Ryobi 31 cc in a Sig 4*120 rignt now. I have a Zenoah G-62 for my H9 Cap 232. But my love is four strokes. Say one each in my two Robinhood 80's and my Robinhood 99.

Patrick: I haven't looked at MVVS engines, I will though. If they make four strokes of the sizes I am looking for, I would be very interested.

Thanks to all for your responses.
