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
Maybe you can use that Stihl....just use the other end of crank for the output shaft. Post a photo. we may be able to help you construct a engine mount...ect. Or as glo/gas it may run good backwords!!!! Capt,n
Okay, he ya go.
This is the little reverse running dude.

Tell me if you think I'm waisting my time trying to convert it.
I really want a gas engine for my 78in span Kadet Senior.
It weighs between 8 and 10 pounds.
Only thing is, with all that wing 78x15 it floats and the factory
only recommends a glow 20 to a glow 40.
I don't want a speed demon.
Just something that is easy to start, sounds great and doesn't cost $15 a gallon for fuel.(although gas may end up there!!)

Thanks
