Thanks MBRENNAN1. Tried this before and it worked well if you treat the ends with a little touch of epoxy and the surface is squeaky clean. What looks like black in the picture is really 1/4" chrome all compliments Auto Zone heheheh. I have a Saito .82 but I want to use it on a pattern plane I just ordered. I also think I want to hear a 2 stroke screaming when this baby blows by. So... a .61 or a .55... can't decide yet. I have a K & B .65 Sportster brand new but I dunno if that is the motor for this plane. Maybe even a pipe? Not decided yet. You know?.... even a .75 AX is posssible here! The .55AX is not much more powerful than the .46AX but it is 3 ounces lighter.
