Will a small gasser work?

1 gram = 0.035 273 962 ounce per this site: http://www.onlineconversion.com/
Or I use 1kilo (1000gram)= 2.2lbs 2.2*.98= 2.156 lbs *16oz= 34.49oz.

I have the Carl Golberg Ultimate 1.20, I had a Featherlight 25cc leafblower conversion on it for a couple of years. It flew great, balanced with a couple of ounces on the tail (put it near the tailgear) and had a great time. Came out a little over 11 lbs. When I purchased a Balsa USA Fokker Eindecker (80" wing) I put the conversion motor on that and put a 1.20 OS fourstroke on the Ultimate. The conversion motor will not do 3D, has very little power actually compaired to the OS1.20 (I think it was the weight issue) but it was still alot of fun to fly. There is actually a thread on here where people posted pictures of thier Ultimates with 25cc conversions on them. Here is the thread of one of them.

A brillelli 25gt engine will work wonders on that plane. The Brillelli 25GT engine weighs just 3lbs 9oz with magneto and under 3lbs w/ei. This engine will spin an APC 17x6 prop at 8800RPM and give you 14lbs of thrust. It weigh's 2oz less than a G26 and give you the same power. Here is a video with the engine being test with a APC 17x6 prop and you can see the rpm readings.

I have this engine on a Great Planes Giant Big Stick and see fly's great. I'll be testing an APC 18x8 prop tomorrow and I am hoping to get around 16lbs of thrust with it. If it does that will be amazing for a little engine of this size and price range.
Thanks

Jim: That is a very good looking engine (GT25) and I have saved a few photos of it. Do not tell RCIGN that your engine has more power than the Zenoah G26!!!

Well converts I've just finished my Ultimate Bipe from NitroPlanes it is looking "BEAUTIFUL" I will post some pictures later, Right now is raining here in Tijuana so I won't be flying, so I am going to tune the engine and have her ready when the weather is better, I can sense that this is going to be a great flyer at just 8 Lbs and with the weadeater 25 converted top gasoline/glow fuel just can't wait to get'r up in the sky!!!!!!!!!!! I am feeling a good kind of anxiety like when you want date a new GIRL
and like this feeling

I think you should get it at $199 including shipping (maybe more to Michigan) but still is a good bargain, I cant wait to get'R in the air but right now it just stoped raining but the forecast for saturday is what do you guess "MORE RAIN" it even snowed here in the mountains; so I'll keep my fingers crossed. If you decide to purchase the bipe do it through the RCU web page it's only $179 plus you get a $10.00 discount if you use the web's special promotion
look for it in the "buy sell" section.

Well Captin guess what?????? I got her in the air today and let me tell you "I LOVED IT"
it flys straight as an arrow and the 25 weadeater is perfect match with more than enough power and very responsive, I can't wait to take'r out in the air again, I think you should buy it, you will have a lot of fun with it as I do, this plane with this engine can do wathever you ask her, snaprolls are a piece of beauty, well I cant say anything else but try it you'll ,like it!!!!!

BIRD.I'M THINKING OF BUYING THEIR SMALLER .46 VERSION AND
AM WONDERING IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ANY FEEDBACK ON IT.

Yes my friend has one he bought it at the same time I did mine, he put a 46 magnum and it flys straight and fast, it looks very small (for my taste) but is ok if you like small planes, maybe thats because I'm more into the big birds
but the plane is well built and for the price you can't miss

I does good but have to compensate with ailerons and down elevator I dont have any mixers on my radio so I have to do manually,the landings are fabulous it glides very good and it takes a little elevator hold other than that it is a very good plane Have you tried Nitroplanes.com look in biplanes then go to the ultimate and it will show both bipes the 40 size and the 120 size they do have them in stock, this is the page: http://www.nitroplanes.com/ulbi12055scn.html try it

I bought a 26 and converted it to electronic ignition...Runs good, not quite as fast as a G26..

You bet you can put a gasser in that. How about a BCMA-SPE26 that weighs only 2.3 pounds and has the power output of Zenoah G26. Check out one hovering this 1.20 sized cap. Look how small this engine is on that plane!
