Default RE: Will a small gasser work?

Hi captinjohn,

A good rule of thumb when converting from a glow to gas engine is to have at least 1 ci per ten pounds of airframe. Hence, a25cc(1.5ci) gas engine would fly this plane but a 31 or 32cc engine would give you better power for aerobatics. Good luck! Ben
