Hi guys, I am new to this forum. Been reading your post for a few months and have to say you guys have a lot of fun. I have been in RC for about 25 years flying glo power, just not that much fun anymore. These gas conversion sound like a lot of fun. So here is what I have. A Pica 1/5 scale cessna 182 still in the box, will its been in the box for the last 5 years. I think I no what I want to do with her now, go gas. It has a 86 span, body is 63, 12 to 14 lbs, calls for 61 to 1.40 glo or 90 to 1.6 4C. I will be putting floats on it later so that will add 5 lbs. Its 25 mile from the farm to Home Depot or Lowes so would like to no what cc engine to be looking for when I get there. Thanks for your help and will keep you updated on this project as it moves along.

That 33cc Homelite that's on sale sounds like what you want?

Enjoy,

There is a guy converting Toro engines on this forum.
The complete ready to go engine is $155.00 I believe.
I don't believe you can buy a chainsaw and convert it for that price.

Look up Who's converting Toro's or something like that and look for the picture of Sponge Bob, that's him.

Hmmm... I'm thinking with an airplane that size and weight, and with the idea of maybe using floats, that more power would be in order. Maybe a Poulan 42 or 46cc. The Poulan 42cc would probably have plenty of power for this project, and is a little easier to convert than the 46cc. These type engines are super easy to convert but you will/would have to use electronic ignition, which I recommend anyway...
