I'm glad you'all like the setup. I think the Bisson wrap-around muffler really makes this engine package. Mine has the SynchroSpark, which I think it's a must for this engine.

Unfortunately, with the move to our new house nearing, I haven't have much time even to go fly on Sundays, much less run my engines. Rest assured though, when I get around to it, I will post the results here first thing. Who knows, BB1 might just beat me to it.

I'm embarrassed to tell you exactly how much I have invested into this one - it's obscene. Let's just say that I probably could have bought a BME50 or ZDZ50 instead. Then again, now that I have persuaded BCM to do the Poulan, we can easily put together a very nice package that rival the best in the 45-50cc category for:

Poulan 46cc: $110
CH conv kit: $210
BCM muffler: $100
-------------------------
Total: $420

Less if you can find the short block cheaper. Best thing, of course, is if you ever dork one into the ground, replacement engine is only a hundred buck away.

Just so you know, last month's RCM had a review of the ZDZ50. With a very similar BCM muffler, it reportedly weighed 59 Oz. That's almost exactly what my Poulan 46cc weighed, which is even before I make any attempt to lighten the engine some more. Easily done considering the generous cooling fins that are not all necessary for RC application. Plus the ZDZ50 only turned a Zinger 20x10 about 200rpm more than the Poulan. Both engines are practically brand new, so it remains to be seen how much power each will gain after break-in.

Again, I've got to give the credit of this conversion to Terry at CH, though. He did all the work on this one, and a superb job. I just kept pestering him to pester Bisson to make the muffler for me.
