Default Seagull Ultimate gas conversion...Who's doing one?

Hello everyone,

Well I have been flying the ultimate with a saito 125 installed. It flew great with the 125 but I have decided to put a BCMA 26cc engine on it and see what she will do(or wont do...LOL). Mostly an experiment to see if it can be done and how it will fly.

I would like to hear from those of you who have tried or thought about going gas with this plane and see some pictures of your conversions.

Here are a few pictures of mine so far. Lots more to do since I just started on it. I will post more pics. as it progresses.

You might want to rethink the fueler idea with a gasser. I had problems with glow and fuelers but with a gas carb sucking the fuel and Tygon fuel lines they were an absolute nightmare. I gave up on them 10 years ago and went to fuel dots and haven't looked back since.

What problems did you have with them? Can you explain more? I'm curious.

Reason I ask is I havent experienced any issues with them yet, but I have only been using them with glow fuel.
