I am just getting back into the hobby after a 15 year break. Can you guys help me out in regard to getting the gas / weed wacker type engines going on in 1/4 to 1/3 scale type ww1 or ww2 fighter. I have no clue in how to go about getting the job done and have read several posts on the best gasser for a 1/4 scale ww1 type job, but am lost. Sounds stupid, but sure could use a step by step. OK - where to order. what for a 20 -25 lb. range, who to do the conversion if necessary , or how to go about doing it yourself? I am a pretty decent builder & have done quite a few scale - scratch / plan type builds in 1/4 scale in the past, but always leaned to the large glow engines.. This engine deal sounds pretty cool, especially the larger briggs / honda type motors.

wefxn3,

You might want to take a look at the [link=http://brillelli.com/brillelli_engines.htm]Brillelli[/link] line of engines. Scott has a 366GT 60cc that just might fit the ticket. The Zenoah G-62 is always a favorite also.

what scale and what cc are you looking for.do you want to do one yourself or purchase one to start with then try to do one yourself.

Check out this Power Point presentation and see what he put them in. Homelite 33cc chainsaw convert.
