Default propane weedeater engines in planes?

I have a couple weedwacker engines, 25 & 30cc that run well, but I hate the weedeater so I may put one in a plane eventually, but I looked at the new propane powered weedeaters today. Could these new weedeater engines be used to power a plane? They seemjust as powerful, will run for two hours on a $3 bottle of propane and start much easier and there is no oily exhaust. Since there is no oil/fuel mix, I guess that have a wet crankcase with oil so they may be heavier, any thoughts?

What's a good plane to put a weedeater engine in? Not just a big trainer though.
