Default Cheaper Fuel Solution for O.S. 61??

Originally posted by HotShot_Forever
The .61 engine does fine getting the plane off the ground and seems to have plenty of power, but I will be flying at high altitudes, 4,500 - 10,000ft and possibly in high winds. Also the .61 goes through Glow fuel real quick.

With a featherlite engine I would be concerned of the plane being to heavy. Does anyone know how many lbs of lift the Kadet generates?

Also are there any downsides of a Diesel conversion? I have heard they greatly increase fuel efficiency? Is this true?
Wow, you are really flying high!
Way beyond visual range huh?

Anyway, wonder how did the Diesel conversion go?
Did you try it on your OS61FX?
