captn,

that is a funtanaX100

As for the rest...I recall no comment ever made that conversion to EI adds performance. Like Ralph said, properly timed, you will see the same performance between the Mag and EI versions, I converted my 26 for two reasons, neither were performance...weight and physical size/shape.

I wanted to convert mine with one goal in mind: to replace a YS1.40 glow engine with a gas alternative in the same plane, sacrifice no weight and no flight performance. Well, I did it, and got a few hundred more RPM while I was at it. So in my case did I increase performance, yup....cuz of EI...nope.

We can compare performance, or weight. Since we all want to compare both, we have to equip the compared engines the same...weight without muffler, but with ignition, properly timed, same prop, same day, same gas/oil, and run em without muffler at all to get data. Everyone uses different exhausts, different batteries, switches...etc. So leave all that out. This is why Ralph and others of us speak up during these comparisons...just making the comparison useful. I've never seen anyone convert a top brand EI engine to mag, in order to compare it to the performance and weight of a Zenoah....hmmmm
