Has anyone ever installed a 25cc gas engine in this bird? I have one and want to go with gas. Thanks Robert Cline

This is the plane a really regret ever selling.[] I had a YS 1.10 inverted turning a APC 16-6 9450. You have to get the robart landing gear, it really improves the ground handling and looks. With the little YS it would climb out at a 75-80 degree angle for ever with a 10 foot ground roll. I could do a loop as big as you wanted. Would a 25cc engine fly it good, I would say yes. Mine took of and flew the pattern scale like at 1/4 throttle. I have an itch to buy it back since the fellow I sold it to never did anything with it and offered it back for the original selling price. I sold the YS so I would be in the same boat as you. Looking to put a little gasser in it. I sold it because the YS was thirsty for 20-20 and it broke two pattern headers from vibration in one summer.[X(][X(] (I had a scale exhaust system)

I dont know,, but I think that a G26 is a tad bit heavy for the Ryan/M . I had one with a OS 120 that was a perfect combination and enjoyed flying it before one of the hurricanes diminished my collection. Many fliers have flown it with a 91 successfully. Try a Magnum 91 FS.

I have flown mine with a MVVS 26cc gas engine, flew absolutely great, using the engine in another model at the moment hence plane is laid up for a while.

Nice photo of this Ryan STA-M .....and I like the snoopy!!

So do you think a Saito 100 would do a good job with the GP Ryan?

The Saito 100 should fly the plane OK since it's a slow flying plane with generous wing area. On the other hand, you might need to add some serious nose weight.

hey i have the same ryan sta as you and i have the g 26 it great no regets and useing the pitts muffler it sounds awsome

The Saito 1.00 would fly it fine. My ys 1.10 would take off scale like at 1/4 throttle.

Mine has a G26...flys very scale like. Stock muffler

Hey, Bpannier did'nt the cowl need major surgery? I am tempted to try my G-26 but I would hate to start hacking away. I may just drop in the OS 120 invert it and go do some loops before I whack my fingers off. Mr. Exacto I ain't.... any pictures would help. Thanks mikel-t

Yes it did one side of cowl was cut away. I cant see it in the air.
