Good evening you finest folks out there.
I have a question.
I want to build a gas/glow trainer for our club to train a young pilots who just gets in the hobby.I think i will go with something as simple as spad with maybe flat bottom foam wings or such. I want it to be a big plane so it will be easily seen @ 3-5 mistakes high.Therefore i will have to use a gas motor.I looked in to conversions a couple years back(for my own plane) but then i had other priorities in my life.Now i am back to conversions and i want to build one as cheap as possible.I already have a weedeater i will donate towards the project .
I wanted to ask you guys who's out there doing a best deal on the adapter and velocity stack?I want to use a glow+gas mix so i won't have to have an EI.Please advice on where to go for the best bang for the buck

Thankfull Mitty

Glo plus gas? I also want to know what that is.

Simple...a engine that will run on a glow/gas mix. Or you could have a twin puller pusher plane with a glow and a gas engine. If one quits the oher engine will get you back to the field. HA!!!!!

O K

or to the crash site.

Mitty, If you are not familar with spadword and their Biguns (Large Scale Spads) check them out.
http://spadworld.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9321 is a trainer with Echo power. Mine flys like a trainer at 12#. with a CH Ign.

For my glow gas engine experiments, CH Ign http://www.ch-ignitions.com/ supplied the glow adapter. Discovered upon reciept that they did not fit properly in the heads; No problems with CH service; they had some replacements Express / Priority Delivered to friends who hand delivered South of Border. Super service as usual. THANKS.

I tried to make som plug adapter with only limited sucess, the wall thickness is thin. Clearance is minimal. Not worth the time for me to try an make more.
