Default RE: BME .90 (15 cc) Super Tigre conversion

Now that you are producing the engine maybe we can get some details from the horse's mouth. What type of numbers can we expect and on what props? What are the recommended props? I have never seen one of these run and I am curious how much performance is lost versus a glow version of this engine at this displacement. Do they vibrate similar to other gas engines or glow four strokes of this size or worse? Is the engine, after the gas conversion, as sensitive to muffler backpressure as the glow version of the SuperTigre? That is probably one of the more important questions to me as the glow version needs the proper backpressure to run properly and most pitts mufflers fall short. Does it run hotter or similar to other gas engines?

It would easy for someone like myself to speculate or make assumptions but I would rather just ask. Thanks again in advance.

P.S. I think the price is rather fair myself. Thanks again for bringing it back to market.
