Default RE: Engine Conversion


ORIGINAL: rustler555

I wanted to know if anyone would share information on converting a 2- stroke trimmer engine into an R/C ready airplane engine.
Which engine? Some are easier and better suited to conversion than others. Homelite and Ryobi have a following.

I've just converted a Homelite and according to the experts at the field, who saw me bench test it, it should out peform a number of specialist gasoline aircraft engines. I'm a little more modest than they are, I just wanted to do it myself and prove it would be feasible.
