if you, captn and I are stuped. well I like it. I have one great time being stuped.
My 1st engine I did was a homie 25. When I saw it run. WOW it felt good. I mad a vido and took a lot ot pics to show how ezy it is to do. I wanted people out there to try it out. Have fun and save some$$$$$$$.
The last thing I wanted was to tell some one the hardest way to do somthing and have them say. I cant do that.
I made my 1st mufler. It works great. It is very light and aluminum is not hard to weld with a torch and some alumo weld. Some people said that it will brake. It is very britel. Not yet. lol
Make it simple and make it fun. If that is being stuped. I AM PROUD TO BE STUPED.
Man i think you so misunderstand combatpilot. He is a very large supporter of conversion engines and has many of the same goals you stated. I saw his plane fly at spadfest 09 with the ryobi engine and man it ran so strong. As far as telling you the hardest way to do something you so misunderstand. Its not that hard or complicated or expensive. Your the one making it all of that. Heis not trying to make ithard but correct. I have tried his method and I can tell you it is so accurate. even if i have to adjust the timming from the recomended 28 degrees and i find a better setting i can then measure where it is set acuratly so if something causes me to have to tear my engine apart i can reset it exactly where it was.
On the aluminum muffler with the alumiweld i dont think your gona have a problem with it if you used the stuff properly. I have looket at many $100 pitts style mufflers to find they are welded together with the same stuff. you can always tell cause the weld looks more like a solder joint than a weld bead. after they weld it the muffler is then bead blasted to give it a really nice finish to it.
Open your mind i think you two have more in common than you think.
Ihave not misunderstood any one. Im sorry. w8ye has taken off the bad things that he had said to people that did not agre with what he said.
And it is all ver with now. I am not getting in to it.
