Default RE: Conversion Photos

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunatly... I don't have any vid of it flying.

That 19.8cc Mitsu engine is one of the smallest and lightest engines I have found. It also makes super power for it's size. One of the reasons it's so light, and why I was able to keep it under the cowl, is because the flywheel is only about 3" across. (It's not much bigger than the spinner I'm using)

Actually, on it's maiden flight... I was under 8 Lbs. But I decided to put on that nice polished aluminum spinner. (they are heavy)

FYI... if you do a search for Maxx Gasser... I stuck one of the 19.8 mitsu engines in a T-max chassis.




Here's one of my other conversions that is still flying. It's a WildStick with a Toro 25cc. The conversion is barely a conversion at all. All I did was to remove the plastic housing, trim a little of the bottom aluminum, and put a prop hub on it. It still has the stock goofy 2 brl carb, air filter, muffler, and the pull starter!!! I'm getting around 7200 rpm with a 18 6-10 prop. The conversion is around 12 Lbs, and it's a little underpowered, but it flys well once it's up. I guess it flys like a regular sport model. (not a 3d model)
