Well we can forget the Stihl.
I got to looking at it and according to the way the starter rope pulled to get it started.
The stupid thing runs the wrong direction for a puller plane motor.
Dang, that would have been cool to go to the field and reached down and pull started
your plane to get it going.
Sorta like a tiny real ultralight.
Thanks
Well you don't have to completely forget it. Is it a chainsaw engine? If so, it likely has the shaft coming out both sides of the crankcase. If that's the case, mount the prop to the other side.
If that's not the case, just buy a pusher prop for it. That'll turn it into a regular 'puller plane motor'.
