I think i might have found a potential candidate........a homelite 30cc blower at home depot for $139. now, what will i have to modify as far as carb setup, scrapping magneto ignition, and to increase compression?
another thing, will the great planes 60 sized cub work for conversion? it seems like it would be an easier kit to build
The answer is “Hell No.”
In my opinion a 60-glow airplane is not a candidate for a 25cc gas engine. You are begging for many problems. Balance problems and structural issues might not have a solution. Assume you have calculated that 30cc is three times the displacement of a 60-glow engine. You probably would not put a 180 glow in a 60 airframe.
