This probably sounds like a ridiculous question, and my guy feeling is "No", but I have to ask. I've got an operational Hirobo Shuttle that I won't be using (since my experience in aerial RC is nil) so I'd like to salvage as much as possible from the Heli and mount it into a small glow engine plane. The Heli engine is a glow plug engine and is probably a .30-.40 size (not sure, the plate is hidden by the Heli's frame). I'd really like to use it, if at all possible for another project. I'm already stripping the servos for use on my Senior Falcon.

Does anyone have any experience performing this kind of "graft" ? Can it even be done? (I know I'll have to take apart the housing b/c the heli uses a toothed band for starting, but is the engine at least similar underneath?)
